A conditional use granted by the Henry County Zoning Advisory Board will allow the development of an assisted living facility.

The Henry County Zoning Advisory Board voted at its Nov. 14 regular meeting to approve a conditional use for an 11.7-acre site at the southwest corner of Mount Carmel Road and South Mount Carmel Road, allowing for the development of an assisted living facility.

A total of 199 units are proposed for the site in what would be a mix of independent living, assisted living and memory care. A representative of the developer showed a concept plan with multiple interconnected buildings amid open spaces in what he said was a style similar to upscale apartments or a resort. A condition of the board’s approval was the stipulation that the site cannot be used for a drug treatment or rehab facility.
