In fall 2012, Cane Bay developer Gramling Brothers Real Estate and Development Co. gave 68 acres to the newly formed YMCA of Greater Charleston to build a $20 million sports complex. It was the largest gift of land ever donated to a non-camp YMCA in the United States, local YMCA officials said.
The project includes a gymnasium with a stage; a wellness center; multi-purpose rooms; exercise locker rooms; and an indoor swimming pool. The building will be surrounded by tennis courts, ball fields, multi-purpose fields, an area for a water park and parking.
It will be built in the center of Cane Bay, a 4,500-acre community off of U.S. Highway 176 near Carnes Crossroads in Berkeley County that will have about 10,000 homes.
YMCA officials initially hoped to break ground on the facility this spring, but like many projects, it has taken longer than expected to get financing in order.
They now hope to break ground later this year, with completion by early 2016 or possibly earlier.
