A Planning Board hearing to determine whether the former Muhlenberg hospital site qualifies as an "Area in Need of Redevelopment" fell through Thursday due to a technical eror in the public notice for the meeting.
The site, known as Block 13, Lot 38.03, was the subject of a city-backed study by Heyer, Gruel & Associates. The shuttered hospital contains a Satellite Emergency Department operated by JFK Health. The SED is in the process of being relocated to another building at the cormer of Park Avenue and Randolph Road.
The parent company had suggested in 2012 that 600 apartments were the best use for the Muhlenberg campus, an idea soundly rejected by a large number of city residents. The City Council later ordered a separate study of the best use for the site
The study drew a large crowd when unveiled about a year ago. The same firm was later hired to determine whether the site met criteria as an area in need of redevelopment.
