YNDC seeks donations to revitalize historic Youngstown home
YOUNGSTOWN — The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation is seeking donations to help revitalize a property as a Neighborhood Action Center.
The historic home at 1810 Volney Road was built by Emery McKelvey in 1927 and was later used for decades as a Carmelite monastery and worship center, led by Father Richard Madden, an organizer and spiritual leader, according to a news release.
The property was donated to YNDC in late 2019, and YNDC plans to improve parking and outdoor meeting space, upgrade mechanical systems and restore the first floor.
The property will be used as a Neighborhood Action Center to conduct public and group meetings to organize residents to address systemic neighborhood problems and improve neighborhoods, according to the release.
