CORNING, N.Y. -- Plans for the new Corning Hospital are moving forward. The Corning Town Board approved site plans for the hospital Wednesday night.

The new Corning Hospital will be located on a 67 acre plot of land off Exit 48 on Interstate 86 in the Town of Corning.

The project was announced last year. It will cost more than $100 million but will not require any public funds. Officials will break ground on the site this year.
