The site of the old YMCA in Marion could become the home of three new apartment buildings.
Marion City Council at its Thursday meeting will vote on amending the future land-use map, the zoning request and preliminary site development plan for Green Park Apartment Living.
Ahmann Cos. of Hiawatha is pursuing the apartment project.
The old Marion YMCA, at 3100 10th Ave., closed in mid-December. The new YMCA, at 3740 Irish Dr., is set to open Jan. 18.
The 10th Avenue site was more than five decades old when it shut its doors for the last time last month. Until the new building opens, current members can use the Helen G. Nassif YMCA at 207 Seventh Ave. SE in Cedar Rapids.
