Former CMH property one step closer to re-zoning

The former site of Woodstock's hospital came one step closer to being re-zoned last week.

Woodstock council approved the first and second reading of the bylaw at the Monday, July 23rd regular council meeting, allowing the former Carleton Memorial Hospital property to advance closer to being re-zoned.

A public hearing is scheduled for August 27th for a bylaw to re-zone the property.

The property must be re-zoned from institutional to commercial to allow for any commercial development.

The Carleton Memorial Hospital, which opened in January 1955, closed its doors in 2007 to make way for the Upper River Valley Hospital in Waterville.

The hospital and surrounding buildings were demolished in 2009, and the property has remained vacant ever since.
