"We know that housing for the developmental disability community is one of the biggest needs that we have in our state right now. It is so important that we work to improve and expand the housing options for the individuals like those we are standing with me today," Malliotakis said Tuesday during a garden party at GEC's soon-to-be-upgraded headquarters.
"The $2 million renovation will overhaul the first floor of the building, which houses the Hope C. Morrison Day Habilitation Center, to create more community space that is wheelchair accessible, along with bathroom, floor and ceiling upgrades."
"Since 1958, GEC has supported residents with developmental disabilities, currently assisting approximately 500 individuals with supportive services, daily programs, and workforce training."
"Construction is expected to take six to nine months and is earmarked to get underway in early Spring 2025. Further renovations will also include the upper floors of the building, which will be retrofitted with a new apartment and more program space for the individuals attending GEC's day program."
