YMCA breaks ground on new facility in Canandaigua

On July 8, LeChase CEO and Managing Partner Bill Goodrich was among speakers at the groundbreaking for the new Sands Family YMCA in Canandaigua. LeChase is the design-builder for the 75,000-SF facility. It will include three exercise studios, multiple gymnasiums, two pools, an indoor splash playground, a turf field, a creator’s space, a teaching kitchen, an outdoor day camp space, onsite medical services, and a full-day licensed daycare center.

“This will be a fantastic facility, and we are proud to be the design-builder,” Goodrich said, noting that LeChase has built eight other YMCAs since 2006. “YMCAs have a positive, long-lasting impact. I’ve seen it.”

The new facility, expected to open in September 2023, will replace the current YMCA at 32 N. Main Street, which has been used since 1959.
