A Case for New Lenox Senior Housing

Bill Bolker has a reputation for building quality projects.

Developer Bill Bolker has contacted me concerning the need for more affordable senior housing in New Lenox.  He explained that he has a project next to off Laraway Road. 

The project location appears to be ideal as a supermarket and restaurants are near by. The building would have 50 units for seniors only age 62 and older. He mentioned that the Township has a waiting list of over 70 New Lenox residents wanting to move into the Township Senior Building. 

Bill Bolker has a reputation for building quality projects. Grand Prairie Senior Duplexes on Haven Avenue and the Senior Duplexes east of Nelson Road at County Creek Subdivision always seem to be filled with residents and the grounds are well kept.

If a unit goes up for sale they do not appear to stay on the market for very long. I have never heard of any complaints coming from those residents or others nearby. I would think the population of the community will continue to age and a need for more senior housing will be necessary. 

I would urge the Village Board to approve this new development at your meeting on Monday night.  If any resident of New Lenox would like to add a comment concerning this matter please do so or contact the Village Board Members.
