The Erlanger Baroness campus.The most important thing that came out of the Erlanger board of trustees eight-minute meeting Thursday night was what was left unsaid.
The hospital board did not bring up a drafted resolution that would allow the hospital to donate five acres of land in Lincoln Park to the city, a proposal that has been in the works for weeks between Chattanooga and Erlanger officials and was expected to be finalized Thursday.
The potential land donation could change the dynamics of the city’s plan to build a Central Avenue extension through the Lincoln Park neighborhood, which would create a direct link to Riverside Drive.
But while Erlanger board members had photos of the Lincoln Park property on their tables and copies of the resolution Thursday, the issue never came up.
Afterward, several board members said there were still too many questions about the deal.
