Staff: hospital feasibility study added to RFP for three economic projects
Summary
City staff told the board the city issued a request for qualifications covering a hospital feasibility study plus a hotel/convention center and a par‑3 golf course; staff said the hospital study will be funded from convention tax funds and sited at Highway 71 and FM 20.
Staff told the board the city issued a request for qualifications covering three prospective projects: a hospital, a hotel/convention center and a par‑3 golf course. The staff member said using convention tax funds for a hospital feasibility study is consistent with treating the hospital as an economic driver.
"This is planned to go at a 400 plus site that's being master planned at Highway 71 and FM 20," the staff member said, describing the planned site for the hospital feasibility work. Board members asked clarifying questions about sequencing and whether the hospital study had been presented to council out of order; staff confirmed the item had previously gone before council and was now before the board for consideration.
