Long-term care facilities
Budget 2017 identified $4.6 million for long-term care facilities in Corner Brook and Central. About $850,000 of that has been spent so far and $1.8 million is set to be spent by the end of the fiscal year.
In Central, a request for qualifications is expected to go out this month, for companies interested in taking on the construction.
For Corner Brook, it was announced in November 2017 the Corner Brook Care Partnership will build the new facility. The contract covers the next 30 years of the facility’s life and is valued at about $120 million.
The Corner Brook Care Partnership is led by Plenary Group and includes Montgomery Sisam Architects, Marco Services and G.J. Cahill.
It is expected to open in 2020.
