A Wall Township, N.J.-based surgery center that was approved in 2021 has been given an extension on its construction time, according to a Jan. 25 report from the Star News Group.

The planned two-story, 17,640-square-foot building would contain a surgery center on one floor and medical and dental office spaces on the other. 

The developer requested two separate one-year extensions on the project. Kenneth Pape, the company’s attorney, said at a planning board meeting the extensions have been requested due to “economic conditions,” according to Star News. 

Additionally, the joint-venture partnership the developer originally struck with area physicians to construct the facility is “no longer available to the company,” Mr. Pape said. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
