Bannock County Faces Hospital Funding Dilemma and Bids
Bannock County commissioners confront a $900,000 shortfall to build a new 152 bed hospital as six bids opened last Friday range from $1,197,210 to $1,348,300. Commissioner Hale weighs full project completion versus funding gaps and eyed options including special assessment, a legislative permit, or a special election. He noted selling the current General Hospital and nurses’ home could help cover costs. The 1946 bond issue of $1,000,000 funded two receiving units, each $50,000, in Downey and another location.
