LIVINGSTON, NJ - Construction is moving along steadily. Crews are currently working on laying the steel framework, a process that will continue for about six more weeks. This major step sets the foundation for everything that’s to come.
Soon after, we’ll begin pouring the concrete floors and starting the block walls — another important milestone that brings us closer to opening our doors. As with any winter construction, weather and snowfall may affect the pace of certain tasks, but the team is working diligently to stay on schedule.
Each week brings visible progress, and we’re thrilled to say that this is the year we plan to open the new Y! We can’t wait to welcome you into a space designed for community, wellness, and connection.
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. We’ll keep sharing updates as we move forward. See more photos from the steel installation below. For additional details and photos, visit our website.
