Governor Lou Leon Guerrero today signed the official rezoning documents for Lot 5280-3 in Mangilao, changing its designation from agricultural to public facility use. The move follows unanimous approval by the Guam Land Use Commission and marks the first official step in building Guam’s new hospital and medical campus.

“With the rezoning of Lot 5280-3 officially signed, we’re no longer just planning—we’re building,” said Governor Leon Guerrero. “This is a critical step toward a modern, resilient hospital that meets the needs of every family on our island and serves as a regional hub for medical care across Micronesia.”

The newly rezoned property will be the site for critical infrastructure development—including Guam Waterworks Authority water wells, a sewer pump station, and a Guam Power Authority substation—as part of Phase One. These improvements will support the medical campus and also strengthen utility resilience in Mangilao, Barrigada, and surrounding areas.

“This infrastructure phase goes beyond the hospital,” the governor added. “It means stronger systems and faster recovery after storms for communities that have long waited to be prioritized.”

With the rezoning now finalized, utility agencies can begin mobilizing to clear and grade the site, laying the foundation for full development of Guam’s next-generation hospital.
