The borough is considering Ordinance 2025-19-44 to authorize acquisition of two parcels adjacent to the Central Peninsula Hospital (CPH) campus in Soldotna on behalf of the Central Kenai Peninsula Hospital Service Area. The properties include one vacant 0.87‑acre lot and one 0.99‑acre lot with a 5,980 square foot commercial building, to secure space for immediate and long‑term hospital needs and potential expansion. The ordinance would approve a purchase agreement at a negotiated price of 1980000 plus up to 50000 in closing and due diligence costs, and appropriate 2030000 from the hospital Plant Replacement and Expansion Fund. The land management memo highlights the strategic nature of the acquisition for CPH campus flexibility and longevity, with classification as "Government" use and compatibility with Soldotna’s Limited Commercial zoning. This is still in the public hearing and approval phase as of June 16, 2026, so no design or construction contracts have been issued yet. Vendors in healthcare planning, architecture, engineering, environmental due diligence, and owner’s rep services can position to help the borough and CPGH, Inc. define how to use the acquired building and site, plan phased expansion, and manage the eventual renovation, demo, or new construction that will follow.
