Dallas’ Tri-City Hospital to reopen

by Michael Davis of Dallas Progress

A $20 million investment is being made which will create a new medical center with 250-350 NEW JOBS.

In District Four, we just approved a plan to re-open Tri-City Hospital in Southeast Dallas. It is a totally new owner; the people that let the hospital go bankrupt and close are not involved. We made that clear to the neighbors.

A $20 million investment is being made which will create a new medical center with 250-350 NEW JOBS. There will be a geriatric hospital, a long-term acute care center, and a surgical center with medical offices. No helicopters will fly to and from the hospital; the neighbors made that clear and we listened.

It will have a new facade as well and look like a brand new building. The group involved has done this type of project in other cities with great success. We met with all of the neighborhood associations before approving the plan. We thank them for their input and support!

The new property owner has a great sense of responsibility for the property and respect for the neighborhood. This facility will also add significant dollars to the tax base. The ribbon-cutting for the first facility should occur in March. We'll keep you posted!
