Former steel foundry location now set to become a YMCA day camp location.

The YMCA wants to turn a vacant, seven-acre site on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo into Camp Swan, a city recreational hub for youth. The $7.5 million project will start its review process with Buffalo’s Planning Board on June 15. Lindsay Haubenreich, who is representing the YMCA on the Camp Swan project, says the intent is that the YMCA can begin working on the site later this year or by early 2026.
