SitemapThe Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. has exceeded its $20,000 goal to renovate a former monastery on the city’s South Side into a public meeting place.
As of Tuesday, 187 people contributed $21,265 toward the project.
The $20,000 goal was announced in late January.
YNDC plans to use the first floor of the 1810 Volney Road property — a former church and meeting space — as the location for neighborhood groups and other organizations to meet at no cost, said Ian Beniston, the agency’s executive director.
The money will go toward improvements to the parking area, electrical and plumbing systems as well as painting and new furnishings, he said.
