Siouxland YMCA

South Sioux City has been chosen as the future site of the Siouxland YMCA.

The current Y location on Nebraska St. in Sioux City was built in 1956. The Siouxland YMCA "It's Time!" fundraising campaign is currently underway with a $5.6 million goal. The new Y is designed by InVision Architecture to blend in with Scenic Park and the Missouri River. Instead of a rectangular facility the building will be built in a curve design, somewhat in harmony with the river curve. The 45,000 square foot facility will feature a gymnasium, fitness center, child-watch nursery and five locker rooms. The Y will be able to accommodate 9.500 members and is expected to break ground sometime in 2006 and will take approximately one-year to complete.
