What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Palm Coast City Council expressed full support for a future YMCA in Town Center, though the support comes with serious, conditional reservations. The city is providing a 12.5-acre parcel of property for $1 per year for 35 years, despite its market value being just under $1 million. The YMCA is seeking $9.5 million in government subsidies, which include contributions from Palm Coast and Flagler County School Board.
