“These footers will support the foundation of the garage and ensure it remains steadfast and strong through the many years to come,” VHC said on social media.
The project, which was approved in 2018 on a split 3-2 County Board vote amid objections from some nearby residents, includes a large parking garage and a seven-story outpatient pavilion, “which will provide direct, easy access for patients from their arrival at the parking garage to treatment areas.” The outpatient facility will allow house services such as surgery, imaging, pharmacy, endoscopy, physical therapy and allow the addition of about 100 beds to the hospital.
According to a project web page, the parking garage is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2021, while the pavilion is expected to be wrapped up by the end of 2022.
