Residents vexed at sudden YMCA closing

HUDSON COUNTY — The Hoboken/North Hudson YMCA announced suddenly on Friday afternoon that they would be temporarily shutting down their programs as of that day, while they begin renovations to the building. But according to customers, some of whom had recently paid for membership, no one was informed ahead of time.
YMCA officials have been contacted for a comment by the Reporter.
In the meantime, according to signs on the premises, The YMCA will give a three-month free membership to all members who were active as of March 15, 2010 once renovations are complete. Also, several other local YMCAs and one in New York City will be honoring memberships in the meantime. The New York one is: McBurney YMCA, 125 West 14th St., NYC, NY 10011, (212) 912-2300.
