The brief ceremony is set for 2 p.m. Tuesday to name the roadway leading up to the new Y facility as "Allen Raymond Lane" to honor the man "who has given so much to our Y and community over the past 60 years," according to a press release.

The ceremony will take place at the Westport Weston Family Y's Mahackeno Outdoor Center at 14 Allen Raymond Lane (formerly Sunny Lane) in Westport.

"Allen Raymond will be on hand, along with family members, Y leaders and local public officials as we erect a temporary street sign marking our Y’s new address, which was made official as of Oct. 1, 2013," said the release.

Construction of a modern new home for the Family Y began in January and is expected to be completed by late next summer. The new facility is located at the Y’s 32-acre Mahackeno campus, longtime home of its summer day camp.
