Mid America National Aquatic Center groundbreaking in St. Joseph March 24

The YMCA of St. Joseph, in partnership with the City of St. Joseph, Buchanan County, and Mosaic Life Care, will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the Mid America National Aquatic Center at 1:00 p.m. on March 24.

The event will take place at the Campus Family YMCA, located at 3601 N. Village Drive.

The ceremony marks the start of construction on a 49,000-square-foot indoor facility, designed as an expansion of the existing YMCA building. The project aims to restore and expand long-term aquatics access for families, competitive athletes, local schools, and senior citizens throughout Northwest Missouri.

The project represents a multi-agency effort to bolster recreational infrastructure and wellness resources for the Buchanan County area.
