Through the 211,500-square-foot expansion, 588 new jobs would be added at the hospital, as well as 600 jobs at local businesses, according to an application for state funds reviewed by the Tribune.
There would be additional trauma bays, upgrades at the hospital and an expansion of clinical services.
