Hard hat tour: Get early look inside Xenia’s REACH Center this Saturday

The public is invited to a “hard hat tour” Saturday at the new REACH Center still under construction in Xenia.

The center located on Progress Drive near Upper Bellbrook Road will be the new location for Xenia’s YMCA and senior center, but it also will feature education space for Clark State University and Central State University.

The public can get a tour from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. YMCA representatives will be on-hand to sign up new members. Representatives from the two universities will also be there to answer questions.

The driveway and parking lot are mostly paved and much progress has been made on the building since breaking ground in March.

Cement floors are down and drywall is up. Workers with Ferguson Construction continue to work on entryway doors and installing infrastructure in the ceilings and rooftop.
