Now the purchasers
of that building, George and Stacy Fakiris, have come before the Town Board at its June 3 meeting to present the first architectural drawings
of the
adaptive reuse that they have planned for it: a 60 - unit apartment complex that will put the new EEO
process to the test.
Non-state representatives included housing developers, nonprofits, and faith - based organizations, and together the group focused on a variety
of issues that included the application
process for housing development opportunities, solutions for zombie properties,
adaptive reuse, ways to expand community services and resources, and ways to increase overall homeownership.
