Excavation postponed on
Pioneer Memorial Clinic
Excavation for the new addi
tion to Pioneer Memorial Clinic,
scheduled to begin last week will
be postponed until after the
Thanksgiving holiday, at least un
til Nov. 30, according to Gary
Nolan, environmental services
director at Pioneer Memorial
Hospital.
The city planning commission,
which met Tuesday, Nov. 24, to
consider the clinic addition, has
postponed their decision as to
whether or not to approve the
plan until Wednesday, Nov. 25.
City plannning commission
chairperson Cyde Estes said that
parking and increased traffic flow
on Thompson and Morrow
Streets near the clinic are major
concerns of residents of the area.
The proposed addition will
bring the Home Health, physical
therapy and possibly the public
health offices to the clinic. Plans
are to increase parking from 12
to 20 spaces.
The addition was originally to
be completed by the end of
February, but construction was
postponed because of changes of
the length of the addition, from
64 feet to 98 feet, which required
approval by the commission.
