Hospital reveals delays in two projects

While the Foothills YMCA and the Center for Family Medicine buildings take shape on the grounds of the Oconee Memorial Hospital, two other projects have been placed on delay. The start of the project to triple the size of the emergency department has been delayed from this fall until early next year. And Hunter Kome, chief operating officer, said the Holdings Board’s plan to petition Seneca for annexation into the corporate limits is “on hold.”
