Jones Construction Bid Leads to Hospital Project Revisions
At a joint Meocounty and city commission meeting officials reviewed bids for a new Green Memorial Hospital wing. The plan proposes a $200 000 reduction by revising elevators and reinforcing concrete, while leaving architect and furnishing costs around $25 000. Four lowest bidders were evaluated with changes, and Jones Construction faced questions over the revised scope. A collision near Judge Davis’s office interrupted proceedings as a mounted officer was injured.
