Town administrator reports progress on Lakeville Hospital demolition and brownfields remediation planning
Summary
Town staff reported they are working on demolition and remediation planning for the former Lakeville Hospital site, have a potential nonprofit partner for MassDevelopment brownfields funding, and confirmed the town remains MBTA Communities Act compliant; cost estimates were described as rising.
Planning staff reported an administrative update July 24 on the former Lakeville Hospital site. The town administrator's email noted staff are "working all avenues on the demolition and remediation front" and that a nonprofit partner has been identified to support eligibility for MassDevelopment's Brownfields Fund; those conversations are still described as conceptual.
The town administrator's message, included in board packets, also confirmed that the town remains in compliance with the MBTA Communities Act, a necessary condition for some state supports the town may seek for redevelopment. No firm demolition or redevelopment timeline was provided; board members noted publicly circulated estimates for demolition and remediation have risen in recent communications.
Planning staff said they will continue to seek grant and state funding pathways and will report back as the project and partner discussions develop.
