⭐ Y Stories: Matt Chavarria ⭐

Each month, an estimated 1,500+ people utilize the Mid-Willamette Family YMCA’s seven acres of turf fields. Yet, before 2020, the land looked very different. Commercial and industrial buildings occupied the site, including the Oberto Sausage Company storefront and its adjacent factory. Transforming the land from an industrial space to a community sports complex took vision, persistence, and, ultimately, an unexpected demolition crew.

YMCA CEO Chris Reese was instrumental in developing the fields. Yet Reese notes that the project would not have been possible without help from community members and local companies, including Matt Chavarria of Chavarria Construction, whose name now marks the YMCA’s north turf field: Chavarria Field.
