“The plan would be to increase the size of the facility from 60 to 130 beds, so a net add of 70,” Mastel said, during a presentation to the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District Board.
“We have the design on this complete, the construction is out for tender as we speak, closing next week,” Mastel said.
A number of capital projects set for the 2020 calendar year were delayed due to COVID-19, said Mastel.
A master plan is a forward looking document that would guide development of the facility over its lifespan.
