To my Eagle County Planning Commission and county commissioners, who approved Vail Health’s Edwards Community Health Campus, with virtually no conditions (who needs those minor inconveniences like setbacks, height and maximum square footage restrictions, this is progress!). .
Everyone assembled Wednesday for the Eagle County Planning Commission’s public hearing regarding the proposed Northstar Center at Edwards agreed there is a pressing need for the proposed behavioral health facility.
Special to the Daily
The first sentence of Vail Health’s land-use application to Eagle County for its proposed Northstar Center a new behavioral health facility proposed in Edwards is short and pointed.
“This proposal is about one thing addressing a community need,” reads the document’s introduction.
Last week, Vail Health announced it was submitting its application for the center, proposed at a 4.9-acre site at the southeast corner of the Edwards Interstate 70 interchange. The site is the former location of Northstar Lumber and currently includes a variety of business tenants as well as a number of vacant spaces. Vail Health’s application for the site is now available on line at eaglecounty.us/planning/activelanduseapplications.
