Y named for R. Richard Bittner, long-time Davenport lawyer

The new YMCA under construction in downtown Davenport has been named for the late R. Richard Bittner, a long-time Davenport lawyer and administrator of trusts that, over the years, gave the Y $10.3 million, including $3 million for the new building.

Site development for the new, 73,000-square-foot, three-story building on 4th Street near East River Drive began earlier this month, with a formal ground-breaking held Thursday, Sept. 12, along with the announcement of the building name.
