FARMINGVILLE, NEW YORK (Oct. 5, 2016) –Frederick C. Braun, III, chairman of the Town of Brookhaven Industrial Development Agency, announced that the IDA has accepted an application for assistance from an affiliate of AVR Realty Co. for a proposed $27 million assisted living facility at the company’s The Boulevard mixed-use development in Yaphank. The development formerly was known as The Meadows at Yaphank.

“The IDA is pleased to consider this application. We are hopeful that once completed, this new facility will help to jump start healthcare options in a part of the Town of Brookhaven where few now exist,” said Braun. The application was accepted at the IDA’s Sept. 21 meeting.

The 118-bed facility will consist of two buildings totaling 99,492 square feet, including a 77-bed building for special needs and memory care, and a 41-bed supportive care building. It will employ 40 full-time workers and 20 part-time workers.
