PROVIDENCE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION – Hickey Commons: Affordable
Rental Housing for Seniors
The project is affordable housing for lower and middle income seniors,
55 years and older. Rents vary according to income from $265 up to
$540, including heat. The location is an 80-acre planned development
off Canandaigua and Victor Roads. There would be 56 units, 46-1 bedroom,
10-2 bedroom and community space. Income level must be less than
50% of the area median income. For two people it is $21,150.
This is a not-for-profit corporation affiliated with Catholic Charities
of the Diocese of Rochester. Providence is requesting a willingness
of the Board to consider entering into a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT)
program. This would run for the longest term of the loan being 30

Councilperson Kenyon discussed the ability of the Town to contribute
to the school district for the installation of glass backboards at a cost
of $7,800. Recreation uses these in their programs. Recreation
budgeted to replace the score clock. Norb Miller researched it and
determined refurbishing was less expensive. Initially the Recreation
Committee discussed contributing to the school toward the backboards.
The Town can not make a gift of public money. Recreation can
not operate effectively at the gym without the use of these backboards.
Can the Town participate in the cost without violating the gift of public
funds? The Recreation Commission agreed that $1,500 would be an appropriate
amount. The Board will look into.
