Why not use private donations or city funds to build the Recreation Center?
The partnership formed between the City of Delaware, the Ohio National Guard and the YMCA of Central Ohio offers a unique opportunity for the Delaware community and represents a growing trend across the country. Like the model being used in other communities, including Ohio, this partnership offers the most cost effective way to build state of the art facilities at an extremely reduced cost. Most important, the success of this partnership will expedite the community’s ability to offer enhanced health, wellness and recreation opportunities to the residents of Delaware. Private donations were sought and obtained to pay for the August election and continue to be used to help fund the campaign for the passage of the levy. Absolutely none of these costs will be passed on to Delaware residents.
