City Planning Commission - Jan 13, 2026
The former Lindy Boggs hospital site was resubdivided to enable redevelopment, with the hospital basement to become a stormwater retention facility funded by voter-approved bond money. Neighbors were frustrated they got no advance notice, but future plans will require public hearings.
