Floral Park passes law allowing senior housing to be built in commercial district

After a new village law was passed Tuesday night, Floral Park’s commercial district may soon be home to some new senior residents. 

The board of trustees unanimously passed a law amending the village’s zoning code to permit multifamily senior housing developments in the village’s downtown commercial area, concentrated in the South Tyson Avenue portion between Jericho Turnpike and Atlantic Avenue.
