In this track, no money is spent on pre-construction stabilization, but the bridge is open. The matrix of options stretch from a $200 million option - again, not counting the bridge - for getting two buildings ready with up to 124 beds. In January and February of last year, Gensler submitted more specific plans for two options for a “hypothetical Phase 1,” along with a detailed cost breakdown. Michelle Wu likes Long Island for recovery campus - but when, how and for whom? “The goal is to transform the island into a state-of-the-art, comprehensive, integrated and seamless system of care for people with SUD (substance-use disorder) and co-occurring mental health and medical disorders, including infectious diseases,” the master plan reads in its introduction.įour hundred and twenty five pages later, the plan gets to a section titled “funding sources,” saying, “To create a recovery campus of this magnitude, it will require partnerships and funding strategies from the public and private sectors, federal and state government, payers and providers, and a number of other regional stakeholders.” Related Articlesīoston readying Long Island building stabilization package, eyeing bridge movement
The price doesn’t include the cost of the bridge to the island, which the Walsh administration several years ago said could run about $80 million, though other estimates have put it higher. The Wu administration describes the master plan document, which was submitted to then-Mayor Marty Walsh’s administration in September 2020 as an “aspirational vision” that is “on the shelf” rather than an immediate plan of action, though they do plan on moving ahead with some building stabilization efforts. What jumps out immediately are the construction price tag of $543 million, and the building assessment chart, which brings up serious structural issues with many of the edifices, which previously housed medical facilities and a shelter. People struggling with addiction issues could stay from three weeks to up to 18 months on the campus of 440,000 building square feet over 11 structures that would include health care, “holistic wellness” efforts such as arts, a gym and a chapel and a range of other services aimed at getting people sober and then reintegrating them. The Herald obtained via records request the “Long Island Recovery Campus master plan” from Gensler Architecture/Design with assistance from Ascension Recovery Services - an analysis of the island’s facilities delivered in multiple parts between October 2019 and February 2021, first looking at the current conditions and then eventually moving onto specifics.Īmong the most notable portions of the dense seven-part report are the whole master plan, which envisions a complete overhaul of the island that adds 500 beds spanning stabilization, short-term and long-term recovery needs.

A full overhaul of the Long Island addiction recovery campus would cost upward of $540 million - not even including the yet-to-be rebuilt bridge - according to a year-old “master plan” proposal ordered up by the Walsh administration.
