News Brief –Property Acquisition for parking resolved amicably for North Valley Hospital 4/17/08

On April 16^th, after the deadline to the local newspapers, we received a nice fax from Dr. Hartkorn agreeing to our purchase of 100’ feet of his property behind his office building for much needed parking.

Together with Dr. Nau’s decision to sell the ‘75 portion of land behind his dental office for additional parking and the signing of the final sales agreements we will be on schedule to break ground in August with the demolition of the business office to start construction of the hospital addition.
