"It's prime land for residential development," said city coun. Anne Stevenson, adding the property near where she lives has been past its prime for years.

"As long as I've lived there the buildings have been boarded up and unused."

The Former Eric Cormack Site, as it's officially known, is located at 9835-112 Street.

It was once home to the original Misericordia Community Hospital, Stevenson said. Now it's three mothballed buildings, gravel parking lots, some lawn and a place she drops off her recycling.
