A series of architectural renderings depicting The Valley Hospital’s expansion proposal earned fleeting moments of praise from some Ridgewood Planning Board members Wednesday night, but scrutiny over the details and other aspects of the plan continued.
Architect Steve Evers, who specializes in health care facility designs, made his second appearance in the public hearing process for Valley’s request to amend the village master plan. If approved by the board and Village Council, the amendment will fundamentally permit the hospital to grow nearly twice as large as the existing facility.
The proposed construction will take place over two phases. Previous testimony by the hospital experts revealed that phase 1 will be completed between six and seven years, while the start of the second phase might be “a decade or two” away.
