"The Boys & Girls Club of Benton Harbor announced plans to reach out to the community for support of a $6 million project that includes building a new facility. The facility would assist the organization with its development plans, which include doubling the club’s membership over the next 5 years. According to a site evaluation study conducted by the board of directors, the current facility at the old Bard School would not be able to accommodate such a sizable increase in youth involvement...
The proposed location for this new 3.5-acre, 30,000 square foot facility is on the edge of Hall Park. This region of Benton Harbor has already seen a great deal of change thanks to one of the highest per capita funded Hope VI projects in the country along with Harbor Habitat for Humanity, the Jimmy Carter Work Project and the Harbor Bluffs housing development. The residents within this neighborhood have provided positive feedback in favor of the project, which is before the US Department of Housing and Urban Development for final approval."
