SHREVEPORT, La. A generous donation provided by an anonymous donor will allow the YMCA to begin construction of a 30,000-45,000 square foot facility in the Camp Forbing Marketplace.
In 2014, the YMCA sold 30 acres of its Camp Forbing property to Houston-based NewQuest. It was always the plan to return to the area with a new Y facility.
âWe decided to give up something good to get something great,â said YMCA of Northwest Louisiana CEO Gary Lash. âWe kept about 20 acres as a placeholder for this part of town. The time has now come to return a Y facility to Forbing.
