In order to maintain the mission of Eastern State Hospital, the proposal must include provisions that ensure the best interests of the consumers and employees of the facility. The details of the proposed development shall be made available for public comment at least 30 days prior to entering into any comprehensive agreement or amended comprehensive agreement.
