Youngstown group has plans for colorful plaza - WYTV


A number of years ago, the owner of a small plaza on Glenwood Avenue had big plans.

A soul food restaurant on one side and a daycare center on the other. Now, it has become the latest acquisition by the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC).

“This property will remain a commercial property. Our focus and our desire is to add quality of life services for the neighborhood,” said Tiffany Sokol, YNDC spokesperson.

YNDC took possession of the building Thursday, paying $175,000 for it. It has been sitting empty for the last five years.

“We’ve been keeping our eye on this property. We really wanted to make sure that we got it in a timely manner,” Sokol said.
