Northwest Expansion Project Grows

HOSPITAL OFFICIALS EXPECT TO BREAK GROUND ON ADDITION IN MARCH

Posted: December 8, 2011 at 5:48 a.m.

The building that used to be the home of Pontiac Coffee House stands empty Wednesday near the corner of South Thompson Street and Searcy Avenue in Springdale. Northwest Medical Center-Springdale was planned on breaking ground on a extension project, which would have extended out toward the coffee house in the summer of 2009, but has yet to begin construction.

The expansion project at Northwest Medical Center-Springdale has grown by $3 million, but its completion date is now two years behind the original.

This is starting to sound very similar to Fayetteville's Mountain Inn story. It will end up being nothing more than an empty parking lot.
