The facility is on a 34-acre plot of land and will be 910,115 square feet. It includes two parking garages, green space and 104 beds, WFPL reported. It will also have space for women’s health.
The project faced challenges over the years, particularly from neighbors concerned with traffic, and was subject to a lawsuit, according to Wave 3 News.
It received bipartisan support, including from Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.).
Construction is expected to be completed by early 2026.
