Emergency department growth
Mercer Health Board officials have seen a new version of the proposed emergency department and outpatient center project. The plan features the new emergency department doubling in size, with separate entrances available for ambulance patients and walk-in patients. An additional entrance also is being proposed for the Outpatient Care Center.
CEO Jim Wermert said he hopes the final plans for the expansion will be in place by December or January, with construction set for spring 2008 if the health board of governors approves the move.
Announces dividend
The board of directors for Old National Bancorp, based in Evansville, has announced a quarterly cash dividend of 22 cents per share. It is payable Dec. 17 to shareholders of record Dec. 3.
JRDS awards
Jay-Randolph Developmental Services celebrated its annual awards presentation at Deerfield Elementary School on Sept. 11. It marked the 49th anniversary of the organization helping people with special needs.
Environmental concerns
Members of Citizens Acting Responsibly for the Environment have raised concerns to Mercer County Commissioners about the upcoming construction of an ethanol plant east of Celina, Ohio.
The biggest worry members of the organization reportedly have, according to the Celina Daily Standard, is the plant's discharge into nearby Grand Lake. Representatives of the organization want the project halted until more information can be gathered about its environmental impact.
Commissioners told the group the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has approved the facility and they play no role in permitting or denying its existence.
Landlords worried
Landlords of some Movie Gallery Inc. stores that are planned to be closed are worried going-out-of-business signs could hurt business at shopping centers throughout the country.
The company has filed for bankruptcy and plans to shut down 520 stores in an effort to save about $70 million. It has been given permission in U.S. Bankruptcy Court to begin closing stores and to sell leases at an auction scheduled for Nov. 15.[[In-content Ad]]
