Summary
A coalition representing 12,000 south Charlotte residents is fighting the YMCA of Greater Charlotte's plan to sell the Morrison YMCA in Ballantyne. Speakers warned the sale would end inclusive youth theater, child care, after-school programs, and shared use of county park fields, and asked the county to invoke old partnership agreements and urge the Attorney General to review the charitable trust issues.

Impact analysis
The county has significant stakes in shared park fields and programming that could be lost if the facility is sold to a private buyer.
Ballantyne families, kids in the inclusive theater program, and thousands who use the Y as a community hub would benefit from county intervention.
If the sale proceeds, children in the theater program, working families using child care, and seniors could lose services with no replacement.
