Cascade looks to build new Medical Center

Could a new medical center be coming to the small town of Cascade?

Voters will have a big say if it does.

The Cascade Medical Center Hospital District Board of Trustees will seek public support in the May election to help fund a new medical center.

Residents in the hospital taxing district will be asked to consider approving up to $19 million in general obligation bonds over the next 30 years. CBS 2 News reports, the current facility is about 50 years old.

If the full $19 million in bonds is used, the impact on property owners will be $68 for each $100,000 in taxable property value. If approved in May, officials say the new facility could open as soon as 2025.
