With $12 million left to fundraise for the fourth and final phase of the Aspen Valley Hospital expansion, City Council on Tuesday granted a five-year extension of vested rights to complete the project.<\/p>\n

AVH\u2019s 2013 approval of the hospital master plan was set to expire on May 23, after a previous council had granted seven years of vesting rights.<\/p>\n

The final phase is 4% of the overall 214,000-square-foot project, and includes an outpatient clinic, a central registration area, a new main entrance, a chapel, a cafe expansion and offices for the AVH Foundation, which is the fundraising arm for the hospital.<\/p>\n

Deborah Breen, president and CEO of the foundation, said on Tuesday morning prior to Council\u2019s regular meeting<\/a> that $48 million has been raised toward the $60 million capital campaign.<\/p>\n
