This Afternoon, LYSB Unveils its Newly Renovated Home on Lyme Street with Open House, Wednesday

OLD LYME–On Wednesday, Oct. 29, from 2:30 to 4 p.m., the Lymes’ Youth Service Bureau (LYSB) will introduce its newly renovated facility at an open house. 

The LYSB website explains that the renovations to the 1850 building at 59 Lyme Street were necessary to address crumbling plaster ceilings, walls with newspaper insulation, aging wiring and plumbing, a dirt floor in a portion of the basement, inefficient and inoperative windows, and a stone foundation in need of repair. 

A majority of the project was funded by a $400,256 grant from the state’s Nonprofit Grant Program, with the remaining 25% covered by community donations. 

The public is invited to stop by to see a building that staff members say now is as “inspiring as the work that happens inside it.”
