Health campus on Sixth Avenue sparks regional interest
Henderson County commissioners approve a $32 million 95 000 square foot campus to house Pardee Hospital cancer center on the ground floor and Wingate University and Blue Ridge Community College classrooms labs and offices on upper floors. The five party agreement signed in April funds construction with a 15 year debt plan estimated at 2.36 million annually while rental income from Pardee and Wingate helps cover costs. The project aims to boost local education and medical facilities, signaling a broader real estate boom in the area.
