Bayonne could see the construction of its first nursing home facility in May if the Zoning Board of Adjustment approves an application for a 120-bed facility on Broadway at a special meeting slated for Jan. 22.
The $25 million project, located on Broadway near 29th Street, is being proposed by Omni Healthcare of New Jersey, which owns and operates similar facilities in Union City, West New York, Jersey City, and Secaucus.
The 10-story building, which includes internal parking as well as ground floor retail, is expected to generate almost $500,000 additional property taxes as well as more than 200 jobs, not including construction jobs. A more in-depth story will be published in the Jan. 21 edition of the Bayonne Community News.
