A local medical provider is planning to expand parking at a busy facility.
At their regular monthly meeting Tuesday night, the Butler Township Planning Commission recommended approval to a plan introduced by representatives of Butler Memorial Hospital.
The Health System would like to create a 148 space lot along Technology Drive to help with congestion at the Benbrook Medical Center. The asphalt lot would be situated on what is currently a vacant 3.3 acre field across the street from the Center. The lot would have two exits and entrances as well as 11 lights, an access sidewalk, and a retention pond to help control increased storm-water flow.
This lot will mostly be used by employees of the facility but it could also allow for a small addition to the center in the future. The next step in the process to create the lot is final approval from Township Commissioners at a meeting later this month.
