Brooklyn’s Fifth Ave. Committee developing senior housing in Queens
Teamwork between Brooklyn and Queens is bearing fruit for senior citizens.
A ceremony marking the groundbreaking for new senior citizen housing in Jamaica, Queens was scheduled to take place on Oct. 12 with representatives of the sponsors, the Fifth Avenue Committee, Inc. and the Northeastern Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, in attendance to mark the start of construction.
The new 10-story building will contain 159 apartments for low-income senior citizens ages 62 and older.
