In the council's response to the preliminary budget, we urge the administration to create a new outpatient building at Lincoln Hospital, a project you indicated was a capital need for the system during our fiscal twenty twenty six preliminary budget hearing.

Do you have an estimate of the full project course?

Well, at least on this one we have the space right across the street from Lincoln, and we would not have to knock anything down.

The bad part is that the price tag is 600,000,000, and at the moment we don't have a funding source for that.
