The shuttered J. Edward Hutchinson Parking Garage in Greensburg could be demolished and replaced with a new parking lot by the end of the summer, if the state approves the city’s request to repurpose funding.
Greensburg City Council approved an agreement Monday with Independence Health System Westmoreland Hospital to repurpose $1.5 million in state Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program funding to demolish the adjacent Hutchinson parking garage.
The 475-space parking garage, built more than 40 years ago as supplemental parking to the hospital, is connected to the hospital by an enclosed walkway over Shearer Street. It has been closed for more than two years because of its deteriorating condition.
