Special Election Studied To Get Hospital Funds
Meigs County residents discussed financing a planned 40 bed Meigs County Veterans Memorial Hospital near the Children’s Home in Pomeroy. A Nov 6 bond vote failed by a margin, prompting plans for a possible special election to secure about 150000 in federal aid and 200000 local funds with state health department guidance. Leaders considered public subscriptions and delaying to a general election, but favored immediate action and legal advice on holding a special election.
