Show Notes
The Somerville YMCAs expansion plans face a setback as the Topouzoglou family, elderly Greek immigrants, refuse to sell their century-old home, valued at $1.25 million, for offers up to $2.5 million. The current facility, built in 1904, is in disrepair with cramped spaces and outdated features. The proposed six-story complex would include a full-size pool, gyms, child care, and affordable housing units. However, without the Topouzoglou property, the project will deliver fewer affordable units. The YMCA respects the familys choice and plans to be good neighbors, with construction potentially starting in two years.
