REID: RESTRUCTURING WILL NOT AFFECT NEW $100 MILLION CONNERSVILLE FACILITY

(Richmond, IN)--A Reid Health spokesperson said Wednesday that the recent restructuring will have no impact on the construction of the large new hospital that’s under construction in Connersville.  Reid is building a new $100 million facility there.  They said Wednesday that financing for the project was secured over a year ago and that the delay in construction has been brought about by increased cost of construction materials and lead time in ordering certain components.  Reid added that the design of the building has evolved to fit the amount of funding secured.  Reid also stood Wednesday by 25 as the number of positions that were recently eliminated.
