Council agrees to support Holy Cross in bid for more beds in W.J. The West Jordan City Council has agreed to support Holy Cross Hospital's bid for an additional 50 beds at their Jordan Valley site but warned that there would be "hell on earth" should Holy Cross fail to begin construction in March as announced. Jordan Valley Administrator ' told Paul Hinchey Jan. their councilmembers during that a Mar. 1 12 meeting, groundbreaking date had been set and that construction was scheduled to begin shortly afterward. Hinchey added that Holy Cross had filed an application with the ' State Hospital Planning Agency requesting, an additional 50 beds for the West Jordan site. It is hoped that the beds will be - approved so thai Holy Truss can "shell them in" during the initial phases of construction. ; state will consider the .. The request, along with a similar one from Sandy's Alta View Hospital, in meetings to be held on Mar. 17 and 18. The council agreed to support Holy Cross in their fight for the additional beds if Holy Cross and the city were indeed playing on the same team. However, Councilman Chris Buttars expressed concern over the fact that groundbreaking had already been delayed once and that Holy Cross had missed several state progress report deadlines. The councilman told Hinchey that there were people in the community who were skeptical about Holy Cross' intention to build in West Jordan. He added that the council would be "extremely upset" if the March deadline was . missed. Hinchey assured the council that Holy Cross was committed to the West Jordan project. He explained that the deadlines had been missed because the state agency had been in a "backlog" and hadn't gotten the progress reports out in time. And, according to the administrator, a soil sample taken at the site had shown the need for compacting before construction began. That process is underway and should be completed in time to start the project in March, he said. Other delays had been caused by the time it took to draw up the plans. Holy Cross felt that it was "time well spent" because it assured the thought you foresaw" which could State Planning Agency. "He delay the project.
