The City of Bloomington will be hosting its third public meeting discussing the redevelopment of the old IU Health hospital site tonight. The City bought the 24-acre site in 2018, while construction of the new IU Health campus was beginning on State Road 46. Attendees will be able to participate in discussions on three topics about the refined plan. Access plus Connections, Open Space, and Land Use plus Neighborhood Character. Tonight’s meeting will serve as another opportunity for community feedback. Another public meeting is planned for December, where a finalized plan will be presented. The forum will be livestreamed starting at 6 PM on the City of Bloomington’s facebook page, and on CATStv.net.
