Hospital Plans Gain Approval for 34 Bed Addition
The project would raise total beds to 81 with a T shaped addition at right angles to the current building. Estimated cost is 400000 with higher costs likely due to material prices. Local funds would come from the Thomasville Community Foundation and city sources, plus state and federal funds. The commission will not allocate until the local share is on hand. Construction could gain high priority to avoid delays from the Korean conflict.
