The rising cost of maintaining and repairing council buildings could see Buxton's library and Fairfield community centre and adult education centre moved across town.
The proposals form part of Derbyshire County Council's aim to make use of the former Buxton Water bottling plant, close to the railway station.
Much of the site will be taken up by a new £20m hospital, while the town's two community hospitals would be closed and moved to the new location, along with some GP services.
Image source, GoogleAs part of an agreement with Derbyshire Community Health Services Trust, which bought the site in December, the council would take up the remainder of the land in a bid to move several services onto one location.
The county council - which says its maintenance bill in Buxton is £400,000 a year, with a backlog in repairs of more than £1m - has been given £100,000 in government funding for a feasibility study.
