Pend Oreille County Public Hospital District #1 commissioners approved a $1.1 million bid to complete the final neighborhood in Newport Hospital & Health Services’ advanced care assisted living facility project, Newport, Wash. Hospital District commissioners unanimously approved the completed expansion plans that would increase final capacity to 72 beds. Projected community need, along with anticipated future building code changes, precipitated the need for a decision on the expansion and additional contracting bid.
Initially, building plans included a rough-in of the fourth neighborhood with the option to finish it at a later date, leaving completed units at 54 beds. Kilgore Construction, Inc., is the project contractor for the completion project.
