YM-YWCA Donation Could Transform North End

The YM-YWCA got a big donation this week from the MacMurray Foundation and Saint John Portland M-L-A Trevor Holder is hoping a new "Y" when it's constructed will transform the north end. 

He tells CHSJ News the area has suffered ever since the loss of Sears years ago but now believes a new "Y" can begin to turn things around.

Holder says if you look at what has happened across the country, quite often retail and residential development will follow a YMCA.
