YORKTOWN, Va. (WAVY) - Children from the Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Youth Center lent a helping hand during a groundbreaking ceremony in Yorktown on August 29.
The new $3.8 million MWR Youth Center at Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is expected to take about eight or nine months to complete, according to spokesman Mark Piggott.
