Summary
Hobbs-Black Associates expected to send the final bid package for the new Rural Health Center to general contractors between January 24 and 31, 2003. The project was described as a 7,000-square-foot replacement for the 1953 facility, with construction expected in April and first patient care in early 2004.
Evidence limits
The newspaper and forum post document an expected bidding schedule, not an awarded contract or completed construction. The forum item predates the newspaper report and is treated as a community announcement rather than an independent official notice.
