LECLAIRE, Iowa (KWQC) - A groundbreaking ceremony was held at the future site of the new LeClaire YMCA on Wednesday.
The ceremony featured remarks from LeClaire Mayor Dennis Gerard and YMCA of the Iowa Mississippi Valley Board Members, officials said.
The new facility will be located off Eagle Ridge Road, near Welcome Center Drive and will feature a full aquatics area, basketball gym, indoor track and weight room.
In February, YMCA officials announced the new facility in LeClaire that they said will meet unserved need in that area of the Quad Cities.
Officials hope to finish construction and have the new LeClaire YMCA open by Nov. 1, 2026.
