County Delays Bond Sale for Hospital Expansion
Clark County faces a time crunch as the county commission learns it cannot meet the contractor’s deadline to expand Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital. Delays arise from a lawsuit challenging bond sales without voter approval, risking at least one million dollars in cost increases and possible multi‑jurisdictional appeals. Don Kosman of Del E. Webb Corp. notes a bid hold of 10.18 million dollars until Oct. 5, while Judge Keith Hayes prepares to hear the case.
