Representatives from The Valley Hospital will discuss the preliminary plans for a new 910,000-square-foot expansion project at a Ridgewood Planning Board meeting on Monday, March 11.
The special meeting will begin at 8 p.m. at Benjamin Franklin Middle School (BF).
According to Gail Price, Planning Board attorney, she and board members will have the opportunity to officially review the proposal and scope of work laid out by Valley representatives at the first meeting. Speaking at recent board meetings, Price stressed that the public hearing, with sworn testimony by a list of planners, witnesses and experts, will not begin on Monday night.
“The purpose of Monday’s meeting is the information session. There will not be any testimony on Monday evening,” Price said this week, adding that Planning Board Chairman Charles Nalbantian will also review his rules for the application process.
Price said she anticipates Valley officials, likely the hospital’s attorney, to provide an overview of “what they intend to do once we start the public hearing.”
