Des Moines businessman Jim Cownie told the Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino board that backers of the Wellmark YMCA hope to raise $9 million in the next three months to build the long-planned swimming pool at the site, The Des Moines Register reported. Cownie, who pledged $1 million to the project, hopes to attract added money from the city, Polk County, the state and private donors, and by refinancing the YMCA’s debt.
