The building will be constructed in an empty lot at 831 Broadway that was once the Sayonara Motel, which was frequently the site of prostitution and drug dealing, town officials said.Īfter two fires at the motel, the Babylon Industrial Development Agency purchased the property in 2019 for $710,000, saying it might become a work space for local entrepreneurs. 'We’ve grown expansively, and that alone says we need to have another site,' said Town Supervisor Rich Schaffer, noting that the center’s caseload has more than tripled over the past seven years. The new center in North Amityville will have two floors, one of which will be devoted to the Gino Macchio Foundation’s 'Putting Recovery to Work' program, an initiative aimed at helping those in recovery find jobs. The town has announced it will build a second location of its Beacon Family Wellness Center in North Babylon that offers chemical dependency treatment services to residents. The Town of Babylon wants to make that job search easier. Having a job is one of the fundamental parts of being a productive part of society, but those who have struggled with addiction often have a tough time finding suitable employment.
