A $147 million investment in Farmingville has come to fruition, as “The Arboretum” high-end apartments are now open. Local, county, and state leaders gathered to celebrate the grand opening of the 62-acre complex on Horseblock Road.
“Successful developments are a collaborative process between the Town, the developer, and the community to produce a positive product that raises the community. The Arboretum was a long time in the making, with many stakeholders, and turned out to be an absolutely beautiful property,” said Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Dan Panico.
The Arboretum consists of a wide range of living possibilities, and boasts of having” flats, lofts, townhomes with backyards, and detached residences with private entries.”
“While this project took a lot of work to put together it was a great example of how the community, the town and a developer can come together and bring positive development to an area,” said Town of Brookhaven Clerk Kevin LaValle, who was the 3rd District Councilman when the project was first proposed.
Local leaders also publicly praised the Farmingville Residents Association, Farmingville Hills Chamber of Commerce, Farmingville Historical Society, and Michael Kelly of Kelly Development Group for working collaboratively with the Town of Brookhaven to turn the dream of this almost $150 million investment into a reality.
Also on hand for the ceremonial ribbon cutting were Brookhaven Councilman Neil Foley, Councilman Neil Manzella, and Suffolk County Legislator Nick Caracappa.
