CLOSING ARGUMENTS - Mr. Geneslaw thanked the Board for their efforts in participating in the eleven (11) meetings for this application. He then gave a summation of the services that Daughters of Israel has been providing to the West Orange community since 1962 stating that the current model of providing services is not sustainable long term due to the changes in the ways people choose to live as they age. Rather than continue to let the decline in the trajectory occur, the applicant chose to be proactive and evolve to provide services that today’s seniors demand.
