The Amon G. Carter Foundation has committed $1 million to a $10.6 million capital campaign that will go to build a new YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth branch at the burgeoning Renaissance Square development in Southeast Fort Worth and make improvements to the Y’s Camp Carter and athletic fields in south Fort Worth.

Tony Shuman, the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth’s chief executive, confirmed the amount of the gift at a land dedication Thursday for the planned $8.3 million Renaissance Square branch. The largest part of the gift is expected to go toward the new branch, John Robinson, executive vice president-grant administration of the Carter Foundation, said in an interview.

The branch has been envisioned to become a hub for health and educational services in the underserved area. Walmart, anchor of the retail side of Renaissance Square, has helped draw numerous other retailers since opening in 2013.

ROBSTOWN — As the developers of the forthcoming Robstown outlet mall prepare for another milestone, they also could be part of breaking ground in a new type of financing available for companies setting up shop in Nueces County.

Dolphin Ventures partner Rick Carduner said they’re nearly done with construction drawings for the Outlets at Corpus Christi Bay and will apply for building permits within 30 days. Doors are still set to open June 1, 2015.
