Meanwhile, the Northside Family YMCA is getting a $5 million makeover at 4207 Old Brook Road, the site it has occupied since 1974.
The facility expects to remain open during the 10 to 11 months of construction and remodeling that began last month. The work will include expansion of the fitness area and more room for a teen center and additional programs, officials said.
KBS Inc. of Henrico is the contractor for the work and a similar improvement program for the Petersburg YMCA.
In response to Free Press queries, neither the Salvation Army nor the YMCA of Greater Richmond has identified any black-owned businesses involved in the work.
