CB 8 committee OKs nursing home

By Daniel Arimborgo

A proposal to build a six-story nursing home next to the 107th Precinct off Parsons Boulevard was approved by a Community Board 8 zoning committee Tuesday following a public hearing.

The committee gave its unanimous support to the project, setting the stage for a final vote by the full board in December.

Simon Pelman, owner of the proposed nursing home, is also a Community Board 8 member. An experienced nursing home owner, he owns several other homes, including one in Flushing.
