Y.M.C.A. Forced To Close Because of Lack of Support
Nelsonville faces the closure of its longtime Y.M.C.A. after years of declining subscriptions and a heavy mortgage burden. The building opened in 1908 with funds raised by local companies and residents, but deficits and reduced giving have left the organization unable to maintain operations. A foreclosure hearing is scheduled as the community weighs the loss of a social and youth center.
