A common council meeting was held to discuss the St. Joseph's Hospital expansion. A motion was passed to sell the land on East Laurel Street and Prospect Ave to St. Joe's Hospital for a dollar. The land is actually worth $285,000.
The next step for the hospital to obtain the abandoned land is to get it passed by the state health department. The entire process usually takes around six to nine months.
If everything is passed, the hospital has a two phase plan for the new land. First, the hospital wants to expand their emergency center because currently it is undersized. Secondly, it hopes to build a new patient tower with 110 new rooms.
The hospital is hoping to start working on the project by the end of the year.
