McLeod Tower "likely to be reclassified"!

Newsflash!

"Palomar Pomerado is preparing to break ground on a new hospital that was sold to the public as being more economical than trying to upgrade two Palomar Medical Center towers rated as extremely vulnerable to earthquakes. Covert said Wednesday architects have told him the towers also are likely to be reclassified.

Still, he said, "I don't think it will change our time frame in terms of (construction) activity."

State to re-assess hospitals' vulnerability to quakes

This means the McLeod tower can remain in operation until 2030. However, PPH is determined to not save the district's taxpayers any money!

PS - Gound has already been broken for the new hospital, as reported in the blog entry of October 15th!
