The site that is 6.5 acres is up for sale minus 0.8 of an acre due to soil contamination
WOODSTOCK - Offers to purchase the land at the former Woodstock General Hospital Site will be accepted until November 25th.
Part of the land will not be sold because the ground is contaminated. The land is 6.5 acres and the part contaminated is 0.8 acres. Woodstock Hospitals Chief Operating Officer Perry Lang says they are going to propose the land as a park parcel.
"We are working with our consultants, infrastructure Ontario and the City of Woodstock and we are proposing that a park parcel be put in place in that area, along with an entrance off of Brant Street and that park parcel would be a way of handling that small contamination. Currently we are working with the Ministry of Environment as identifying that piece as a park parcel and part of that Ministry of Environment is we have done excessive environmental testing and with that the MOE will be reviewing a record of site condition and risk assessment."
The contamination dates back to the 1960's and was caused by an old fuel tank which was removed from the ground in the 1980's. Lang says the Hospital has been sitting vacant since 2011 and they hope to have it sold soon.
