As part of the Nursing Home sale, a few odds and ends and housekeeping tasks will pop up, including plans for a sidewalk as part of requirements for the City of Urbana. The County will be required to build the estimated $300,000 sidewalk by summer 2020, but will likely get it done next year. From the News-Gazette on Wednesday:
County board panel OKs first step in adding sidewalk near nursing homeMore at the full article here.
The Champaign County Board is taking the first steps toward building a sidewalk to serve people walking to the Champaign County Nursing Home and Brookens Administrative Center.
In May, the board agreed to sell the financially challenged nursing home to Extended Care Clinical LLC and Altitude Health Services Inc., both headquartered in Evanston, for $11 million.
But in order to have the property available for sale, a plat revision needed approval by the city of Urbana.
As part of that revision, the city requested that the county build a sidewalk along Art Bartell Road between South Lierman Avenue and East Main Street, according to county Facilities Director Dana Brenner. The county agreed to the request.
On Tuesday night, the facilities committee voted 6-0 to recommend hiring a civil engineer/architect to plan the sidewalk.
