The Piedmont Family YMCA plans construction of a fitness and aquatic center in the western half of McIntire Parkand entered into a 40-year ground lease with the City of Charlottesville for $1 per year. However, the project has been delayed by a series of lawsuits that could continue through early 2012. [2]

The preliminary site plan calls for a 77,000-square-foot facility on a 4.51-acre site. 158 parking spaces will be added to the 110 spaces already in place. Under the plan YMCA will be responsible for all maintenance. The approved design also features a sustainable details and the facility will be built into the hillside to minimize massing. Todd Bullard of VMDO is the architect.[3]

On November 10, 2009 the Charlottesville Planning Commission approved the preliminary site plan[3], followed by City Council January 4 2010[4].

The YMCA will also operate an office out of the new Jefferson School City Center[5].

The project is currently on hold pending the Virginia Supreme Court's resolution of a lawsuit filed against Charlottesville claiming that it broke Virginia's procurement laws by not allowing private companies to submit a request for proposals to operate an aquatic facility on city-owned land. [6]
