| Community Development Corporation of Long Island (CDCLI) broke ground recently on a new affordable home in North Amityville. The 3 bedroom, 1½ bathroom house is being constructed on a tax foreclosed lot that was donated by Suffolk County under the 72-H program. The purchase price of the home will be subsidized by the Town of Babylon, using federal HOME dollars, and by the New York State Affordable Housing Corporation. The house will be energy efficient and green, fostering long-term savings and a healthy living environment. |
