Next steps taken in development of the new Windsor-Essex Hospitals System
WINDSOR – In order to continue with the planning for a new state-of-the-art, acute care hospital at County Rd. 42 and the 9th Concession, Windsor Regional Hospital has submitted an application to the City of Windsor, requesting an amendment to the city’s Official Plan and Zoning By-laws.
“This is the natural next step to ensure we can proceed with the planning process when the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care gives approval to move to the next stage" says Windsor Regional Hospital President and CEO David Musyj. “The hospital site has been selected, Windsor City Council and Essex County Council have committed to cover the local share of the project, and this is the next step required before we can start designing the new hospital.”
The property is part of land transferred to the City of Windsor in 2002 to accommodate future growth. The hospital is requesting the property be rezoned as “major institutional” to accommodate the new regional hospital that will serve as an anchor for the proposed new Windsor-Essex Hospitals System.
