Logan Ohio level county debate over selling the former Hocking Valley Hospital building on W Main Street drew lawyers and judges to urge the county commissioners to rethink. They argued the structure is needed for additional county offices while the hospital faces deficits. Commissioners noted potential rate hikes and staff cuts could yield about 16000 dollars monthly, and revealed a 38500 dollar borrowing to cover old building costs. A further finance discussion with hospital administrator John Sappington was set for the afternoon.
