New Hospital

What is going on with the hospital ? Anything? Drove by and does not seem to be any construction or rd work. Did I miss something?

SCHEDULE

Construction is expected to begin in summer 2022. The hospital is targeted to open for patients in fall 2026.

I wondered the same thing. The sign says coming 2024 and that’s pretty ambitious to say they haven’t started yet

I don't think that a prime contractor has been awarded yet.

There will lots of hooplala and photo ops when it is. Just a guess, but probably having trouble finding a contractor within the budged that had planned for a couple of years ago. It is a contractors market, most aren't going to bid on a project unless it is worth their while.

Wait for the election, then you'll see all sorts of photo ops
