FORMER MEMORIAL PROPERTY TRANSFERRED TO CEDC

Ownership of the former Memorial Hospital site has been transferred to the Cumberland Economic Development Corporation. There are plans, according to the city’s guidelines for the property’s future use, to construct a housing development on the site. Following the opening of UPMC-Western Maryland, the former hospital structure was demolished in 2015; the parking garage remains intact at the south end of the property. CEDC officials plan to begin looking for a developer.
