The community meetings are part of a planning study approved by the City Council in October 2013. JFK Health System had proposed 600 apartments for the 17-acre site where Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center closed in 2008. Residents largely rejected that idea, though JFK said a community group led by clergy endorsed it. The concept of a city study drew high interest on the blog when it was proposed, and residents applauded when the council approved it.
From an October 2013 post:
The planning firm up for consideration Monday for the Muhlenberg study projects a six-month process that includes four community meetings, two of which will broadly involve the public and stakeholders in a visioning process.
Public outreach is named as "Task 1" in the scope of services proposed by Heyer Gruel & Associates. A kickoff meeting with city planning staff will have three goals, according to documents in the packet for Monday's meeting: "to refine and confirm the work program and schedule; to define the community participation including preliminary identification of stakeholders; and to preliminarily identify key issues as the city and community sees them."
The early work will also include "a tour of the site and surrounding area with city officials and key project personnel to get a sense of the issues in the field."
