On a 5-0 vote, County Board members on May 18 formally approved purchase of an 11.6-acre tract of hospital-owned land on South Carlin Springs Road, part of a deal that also saw Virginia Hospital Cen- ter acquire ownership of land currently owned by the county government just north of the hospital’s existing campus along the 1800 block of North George Mason Drive. “We’re excited that this deal has worked out,” County Board Chairman Christian Dorsey said after the agreement was approved as part of the board’s con- sent agenda at the start of the meeting.
