Long Island town may approve senior living facility

A decade-long dispute over developing a former Long Island country club may soon end, with local officials leaning towards approving a senior living facility. Developers Robert Weiss and Efrem Gerszberg have been seeking to build on the 117-acre Woodmere Country Club site. The developers' revised plan for a smaller luxury senior-living facility on a 34-acre section appears to be gaining traction after years of legal battles and community opposition. The proposal aims to settle a costly court fight and preserve open space. The Hempstead Town Board is considering the proposal, which includes over-55 condos, after previous plans for single-family homes were met with resistance. A final vote on the zoning change is pending.
