County approves $400,000 for Riverpeak Hospital kitchen
Summary
The Fremont County Board approved a $400,000 allocation from its economic development fund to help Riverpeak Hospital install a kitchen; commissioners said the amount is cautious and can be revisited later.
The Fremont County Board of Commissioners voted to allocate $400,000 from the county economic development fund to help Riverpeak Hospital install a commercial kitchen.
“Mister chairman, I move that we allocate $400,000 out of the economic development fund for the purpose of helping Riverpeak Hospital put in a kitchen,” a commissioner said before the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Supporters said the amount was a cautious figure intended to get the project started and that the board could revisit further allocations in September if needed.
One commissioner cited the project’s potential to create jobs, saying the funds were intended to spur economic development tied to local employment. The motion passed without recorded roll-call tallies; the board noted the allocation would come from the county economic development fund and asked staff to follow up on next steps for disbursement and contracting.
