MINNEAPOLIS Starting in November, the corner of Plymouth Avenue and Lyndale Avenue will transform from a warehouse to a V3 Community Center. We re going to have an instructional pool, a running track, and a community meeting space and a retail space, said V3 Sports Founder Erika Binger.
V3 is a nonprofit organization that works to solve the lack of swimming access among minority communities and provides equity in wellness opportunities.
Binger says the center is something North Minneapolis really needs.
With the hot weather, more families will be getting in lakes and swimming pools to cool off. That's also leading a nonprofit to work to stop drownings .
