New Brooks Hospital site plan approved...
The Fredonia Village Planning Board has unanimously approved the new site plan for the new Brooks-TLC and Kaleida Health hospital. The board also approved a State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) for the site at 412 East Main St. Marc Romanowski, a partner representing Kaleida, says the plan has been significantly revised since it was first presented in 2019... with the hospital being a one-story structure with 133,000 square feet in size. Romanowski adds it will take about 32 months to construct... allowing for construction shut-downs or delays for Winter weather, and availabilty of materials. The Vice President of Campus Planning for Kaleida... Rob Bragg... explained why it will take that long.... with part of the reasoning being the limited amount of work that can be done during the Winter months. Construction is expected to begin this fall. Three people brought forth questions and concerns about the plan during a public hearing prior to the board's approval.
