Officials in Prince George’s County, Maryland, are seeking a new owner for the former Glenn Dale Hospital site to help turn the property into a senior living community.
Sonja Ewing, division chief for park planning and environmental stewardship for the Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation, told WTOP that to redevelop the site where the former hospital is located, a new owner is needed to bring in developers to carry out the county’s vision.
Ewing first mentioned the search during a Glenn Dale Citizens Association meeting in late January.
“In order for it to move forward, we will need a stronger team and new partners to come to the table,” she told WTOP.
The 23 existing buildings that made up the former sanitarium sit on a 60-acre campus, located on about 210 acres of land owned by the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission.
The Prince George’s County department takes care of the grounds and has been tasked with finding a future owner of the site, Ewing said.
The hospital, which sits 15 miles outside of D.C., opened as a tuberculosis hospital in the 1930s and closed in 1982. In 2011, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, meaning that whoever takes over would have to reuse all the existing buildings.
