Development of old CMH property gets green light; what will be built on old hospital property remains unclear


WOODSTOCK- Woodstock town council has given the go ahead to the development of the former site of the town's hospital.

Council passed the third and final reading to rezone the former Carleton Memorial Hospital property at 785 Main Street from institutional to highway commercial at a meeting held in late August.

Fredericton-based group Greenarm Realty has proposed to develop an office building and adjacent storage shed on the hospital site, which has remained vacant since the demolition of the 55-year-old health care facility, nurses residence and maintenance building in 2009.

Woodstock CAO Ken Harding says that the property now belongs to the Fredericton-based developers. Greenarm representative Daryl Branscombe says that the development plans for the former hospital site are not yet finalized, and that they are still tweaking the plans for the layout of the site.

He was unable to share any more information regarding the future of the property.
