TENAFLY, NJ-The Tenafly Borough Council will vote next month on a plan to deed a property to the Bergen County United Way to help facilitate the construction of special needs housing at the Tenafly Road site.
Tenafly Mayor Peter Rustin says the council will vote on an ordinance to deed the property to the not-for-profit at a meeting on Aug. 19, according to The Record. The initiative the mayor says, will help the United Way "get their financing together to build the project.”
The borough bought the property for $999,000 in January with state Council on Affordable Housing funds. The project has already received all necessary environmental and land-use approvals, said Rustin.
The plan calls for an independent living facility to be built at 33 Tenafly Road that will cost between $900,000 to $1.1 million to build. Groundbreaking could begin in the fall with a possible completion date in the spring or summer 2014. See story in The Record.
