GCMH unveils renovation plans to Supervisors

GRUNDY CENTER — The Grundy County Board of Supervisors Monday heard a report from the Grundy County Memorial Hospital (GCMH) that included information on the planned renovation of the facility’s second floor.
    Hosptial CEO Jennifer Havens said the renovation, which has been in the planning stages for years, would bring upgrades to the original 1952 building’s roof, windows and soffits as well as its mechanical systems including heating and air conditioning. The renovation would allow administration and other support functions to be relocated from the first to the second floor, with that space used to allow needed expansion of the hospital’s specialty clinic area.
    Havens said the hospital hopes to begin work on the proposed $7.5 million project next spring and projected that it would be completed in 18 months. She said the hospital wishes to contribute $2.5 million toward the project.
