Plans for Carrabelle clinic moving forward

Plans are moving forward for the new urgent care clinic in Carrabelle. The hospital board has released a preliminary sketch of the building but say they are working with their architect to shrink the proposed structure from over 5100 square feet to about 4000 square feet. County commissioners last week also gave the go ahead for the hospital advisory board to begin advertising for a construction manager for the project. A groundbreaking ceremony for the new clinic will be held on August the 27th. The urgent care clinic, which will be located next to the health department in Carrabelle, will be funded through the revenue raised through a one cent sales tax that took effect last year. So far the tax has raised nearly 860 thousand dollars to pay for the new clinic.
