Congresswoman Madeleine Dean helps YW3CA Secure Federal Funds for Capital Improvements at the Complex at 724 N. Adams Street, Pottstown, PA.
YWCA Tri-County Area secures $500,000 in additional federal capital investment funds for the Complex. “This funding reinforces our commitment to serving communities and advances our vision to enhance and expand health and wellness offerings in the Tri-County Area,” stated Elise Chesson, Chief Advancement Officer.
Congresswoman Dean noted the eight-figure sum obtained through community project funding as part of the fiscal year 2024 spending bills aims to address a myriad of issues, including affordable housing, community centers, infrastructure upgrades, and PFAS mitigation.
“Our budget reflects our values — so it is especially meaningful when we can secure federal investments that directly improve our communities and the resources we can offer,” Dean said in a March 13 statement. “I’m always inspired by the organizations in our district who are on the ground, meeting the needs of our neighbors with innovation and compassion. They are deeply deserving of this federal funding, and I look forward to our continued partnerships.”
The Complex provides modern fitness and education facilities, fostering community connections and partnerships that promote shared empowerment and growth.
Features include a range of amenities, gyms, studios, two pools, climbing facilities, a playground, classrooms, a conference room, offices, and event spaces. Community-aligned tenants include the Greater Philadelphia YMCA, Tower Health Pottstown Hospital Physical & Speech Therapy, Henley Elite Athlete Training (H.E.A.T), Mosaic Community Land Trust, and Greater Pottstown Tennis and Learning, among others.
