St. Luke’s University Health Network received recommended conditional approval of its plans for an $80-million campus in Carbon County from the Carbon County Planning Commission, which approved a subdivision at North Harrity Road and Reber Street in Franklin Township.

The future hospital will replace the Gnaden Huetten and Palmerton campuses.

The plans call for subdividing 63.99 acres into two lots — a 16.91-acre lot where the hospital will be constructed and a 47.08-acre lot, which will include stormwater management systems.

The hospital will provide area residents local access to a range of specialty services in a full-service, three-story, 155,000-square-foot hospital. The St. Luke’s Carbon Campus will be equipped with 80 beds, 20 emergency department exam rooms, three operating rooms and two OR procedure rooms.
