GREENBURGH HEALTH CENTER WON'T BUILD ON KNOLLWOOD ROAD
Release Date: November 13, 2008

The Greenburgh Neighborhood Health Center worked long and hard to obtain permission to build a new and larger Neighborhood Health Center on Knollwood Road. Although they received final approval to build, the long approval delays, escalating construction costs and horrible economy took a toll. The Health Center does not have the funds they need to build their new building. As a result, the Health Center has put up the Knollwood property for sale. They will stay at 330 Tarrytown Road for the time being. The Health Center provides a wonderful service to the community.
 
The Town Board unanimously approved a new Zoning Code amendment last night expanding affordable housing. Any new  residential development in three zones (PUD, Central Ave & Urban Renewal Zone) must have 10% affordability. In the past the requirement was only in multifamily zones.  There is a lack of affordable housing for seniors, young families who are starting their careers.  This new law was proposed by members of the PLanning Board who have been working on this initiative for at least four years.  The current law has resulted in two affordable housing units being built on Knollwood Road. 44 units will be built when Avalon is complete.  The new zoning change will probably result in additional affordable housing opportunities in the years to come. Affordable housing is not low income. Families eligible to purchase homes will have pretty good incomes but won't be making enough money to buy market rate housing (80% AMI).
