On tonight’s agenda for the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors: Come for the 90th anniversary commemoration of the 19th amendment, stay for the discussion of funding for the new Martha Jefferson Hospital.
As NBC29 points out, supervisors will vote on a resolution to transfer $7 million in bonds from the hospital’s current location to its new site on Pantops, slated to open on August 28, 2011. (The county’s Economic Development Authority approved the reissuance for the 176-bed facility yesterday.) Meanwhile, the hospital’s Downtown site is still looking for a developer after North Carolina-based company Crosland dropped the project earlier this year. Last month, the Board of Architectural Review granted the Martha Jefferson Neighborhood the county’s first Historic Conservation District status.
