Developers say Aurora’s old Copley Hospital site about 60 percent cleaned up

Cleanup of the old Copley Hospital site in Aurora has been slow, tedious work in cold and wet weather – a bit more difficult than members of the Fox Valley Developers LLC team first anticipated.

Yet group members are more bullish on the site’s future than ever, saying the growing interest in both the remediation effort and the eventual redevelopment is getting hotter.

“We get new interest every day,” said Mike Poulakidas, an Aurora attorney who is part of the Fox Valley Developers team. “People are saying, you guys are really taking on a project here.”
