There will be 71 assisted living units ranging from studios to two-bedrooms or 350 square feet to 900 square feet. Five of the assisted living units will be designated as affordable. In addition, there will be 30 memory-care units ranging from studios to one-bedrooms or 350 square feet to 650 square feet. The building will be surrounded by a 67-car parking lot. Supportive services will be included. The presentation comes after the town board, in December, approved a deal to sell the property to the developer for $3.5 million. The 6.89-acre site, once home to Frank’s Nursery & Crafts, must first be remediated. Meyer Design is behind the architecture.
