YMCA Seeks Community Input from Floyd County

On Friday, February 19, 2010, representatives from the Plainview YMCA met with Floydada Mayor Bob Gilliland and Floydada Economic Development Director Justin Jaworski to discuss the possibility of opening a location in Floydada. According to Plainview YMCA Executive Director, Rob Wilkinson, several Floydada residents make use of the Plainview facility and as a result, generated interest in researching the feasibility of such an endeavor.

The YMCA has a rich history of community involvement and (learn more about their history) public programs for youth. Services that could be potentially provided include:
