If the bond is approved on the April 27 special election, property owners would pay an estimated $1.10 per $1,000 of assessed property value. If the bond is approved and construction begins this year, the project is expected to cost $225 million.

The 50-bed hospital was approved in 2018. However, the COVID-19 pandemic delayed construction plans and increased costs, the report said.
