According to reports on 12 News, Fox 40, and Pressconnects, the facility announced in a morning press release this (Thursday) morning that it will be ceasing operations and shutting down.

According to media reports, a statement from the organization said, "The decision, while difficult to make, was necessitated by recent events and financial difficulties."  The statement reportedly originated from The Boys and Girls Club Board of Directors.

There was no clarification in the release concerning the shut down timeframe.

Undefined is whether or not the facility will close on a specific date or whether the shut down date is now.
