Downtown Lakewood megaproject gets final OK

Two panels of elected officials voted simultaneously last night to approve agreements authorizing the Downtown Lakewood development to start as early as Aug. 30, 2025. The $119 million mixed-use project will finally repurpose the former site of the city-owned Lakewood Hospital that closed in 2016 and has sat largely devoid of structures for five years.
