Sublette County Hospital District awaits USDA decision on CAH loan
September 17, 2021
The Sublette County Hospital District (SCHD) continues to await a decision from the USDA on the loan for the new Sublette County Critical Access Hospital (CAH) in Pinedale.
SCHD Public Relations Director, Kari DeWitt wrote, "While we were originally hopeful for a decision at the very end of August, we now understand that our best bet is an October decision."
The USDA fiscal year end is Sept 30th, so most of the month of September is spent on year end reporting and not grant hearings at the national level. Dave Doorn, Sublette County Hospital District Administrator said, "Lorraine Werner from the USDA is really doing what she does best: fully understanding our application and leaving no stone unturned so that she’s completely prepared to present it at a national level." He added that Ms. Werner intends to get the Sublette County Hospital Application on the docket as soon as possible in October.
Pending USDA approval, Layton Construction is ready to move forward with a pre-bid meeting to line up subcontractors ready to get started on construction.
