MGN ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Plans for a major expansion of an Orlando hospital will soon be placed before city officials. The Orlando Sentinel reports that plans for a new tower, patient pavilion and expanded emergency room at Winter Park Memorial Hospital were unanimously approved by the Winter Park Planning and Zoning Board last week – with a few primarily aesthetic conditions. The proposal will go to the City Commission on Aug. 24. According to a city staff report, if approved, the overall capacity of the hospital would increase by 30 percent, from 320 beds to 417. Planning and Zoning Board Chairman Peter Gottfried says there is no set timeline for bidding or construction if approved, though building could begin in multiple phases starting in 2016. It is unclear how much the proposed project would cost.
