$6 million health facility announced for Melfort

Plans are in the works to build a new health care facility in Melfort.

The proposed facility, which would include a physician clinic, as well as other health and wellness-related services, could cost an estimated $6 million.

According to a news release from Melfort City Hall, the project will not get a green light until all of the final costs are known and tenants are confirmed for the remaining leasable area of the building.

“We’ve been probably working on this for as much as six years as we’ve been looking at needs for medical services in the community and ways to suppport and encourage physicians in the area,” City of Melfort’s Director of Economic Development Brent Lutz said in a press release.  “There’s a lot of details that have to be worked out and confirmed but as we are moving each day we are resolving some of those issues and moving closer and closer to a final decision to proceed.”
