Legal opinion awaited on Herrin medical center financing
St Louis based attorneys are expected within a week to issue a written opinion on financing a Herrin medical center referendum. City officials have waited nearly two weeks as preliminary investigations close. The plan envisions a three to four story building in the 400 block of Park Avenue with rent to the city and a bond issue near 125000 to 135000 dollars funded by state and local sales-tax funds. The project could prompt a tax increase and requires council and commission review of lease and rent terms before summer approval. Local zoning and church property ties are noted.
