The Joplin Family Y is getting ready to expand. March 16 the organization held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the site of its new location, 510 Wall Ave.
The Y began its "Building a Strong Foundation" campaign last year. Freeman Health Systems of Joplin donated
$1.5 million toward the $3.8 million campaign.
The other $2.3 million was raised through private donations.
More than 400 residents of the community volunteered their time and money. The new facility will house a youth and family gymnasium, a 25-meter recreational pool, an indoor track and a nursery.
A cardiovascular center, fitness area and a multipurpose room will also be part of the new building.
The existing Family Y at will continue to operate in the meantime.
The Joplin Family Y has more than 500 members and offers more than 100 programs to the community each year.
