Five new soccer fields and the future site of the Washington YMCA were the locations of two ribbon cuttings yesterday afternoon. The new soccer fields are located on West 18th Street and the second ribbon cutting was on West 5th Street where crews will build the new YMCA. Becky Harkema, director of the YMCA of Washington County, shares she is excited for both projects.

Also, the YMCA will be managing the Steele Family Aquatic Center in Washington this summer, which will open for the summer next week.
