Fulton State Hospital’s roots go back to 1851, the year it opened, according to the report.

The bonds come after the legislature passed and Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon signed a measure earlier this year. The bonds will cover the cost of demolishing and replacing old buildings, according to the report.

According to the report, which cites a news release, Gov. Nixon said the project will result in “better care for patients and greater safety for employees.”
