The Sublette County Hospital District is pleased to report that construction continues both on the Critical Access Hospital and the attached Skilled Nursing Facility. Representatives from USDA Rural Development were in town September 12th to review the progress to date. Glenn Pauley, Wyoming State Director of USDA Rural Development notes: "Rural Development staff across the nation have been working with the Sublette County Hospital District since the project’s inception to ensure it stays on track. We are pleased with the construction completed so far, and look forward to the day Sublette County residents can rely on a critical access hospital for their medical needs."
Nathan Pitman, Project Manager for Layton Construction, writes, "Now that the high energy compaction of the site has concluded, Layton, Teletractors and several other trades are hard at work laying out and digging the foundations of the new building footprint. Over the next 30 days Teletractors will dig all the footings and foundations for both the Critical Access Hospital and Long-Term Care Facility. Meanwhile, the concrete subcontractor will begin tying and installing rebar reinforcements and pouring the concrete footing foundations and stem walls." Once this process is complete, he notes, "Teletractors will backfill the entire building footprint to allow for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing trades to begin install of the under-slab utilities. While these items are in work, the structural steel subcontractor is also in the process of manufacturing the structural steel package in preparation for standing the steel structure in the near future."
The project remains on schedule. "We are working hard behind the scenes to keep all of the USDA paperwork current," notes SCHD Administrator Dave Doorn. "Layton’s team and Karl Lueschow, our owner’s representative, are doing a great job of managing the project."
Sublette Center Administrator Dawn Walker notes, "We are grateful to have such an experienced team helping make this vision a reality. The Center is excited to see so many local businesses involved in the project. It really is a community effort." Construction is expected to be complete in March 2025.
