UW Hospital plans to buy 42 acres of land on Madison’s far east side for $8.9 million to accommodate expansion. The purchase of three parcels from American Family Insurance in its American Center business park over the next five years will alleviate congestion at the hospital’s main location, 600 Highland Ave. on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
The Madison City Council Tuesday night approved a zoning change that would allow the land at the northwest corner of the business park to be used for inpatient hospital services.
