Newcastle Hospital

I think we need a folder for posts related to Newcastle, Blanchard, etc. But, the Chickasaw Nation has announced plans for a million square foot hospital to be built in Newcastle. It will be for Native Americans, but will employ up to 3,500 people when built. It will be built at 62 and 16th Street. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing anything about a timeline, but from what I read the city needs to upgrade some utilities in the area. If this is built, it will be a BOOM for Newcastle.

With the turnpike addition coming soon Newcastle is set to explode in growth. I think we will see more announcements like this for the Newcastle area soon after the addition is completed.

And all of the cities in the Tri-City area are in the Top 10 for median annual income in Oklahoma..... Retailers will go where the cash is.

Have you got a source for this? This would be wonderful for my wife; she has a chronic condition that requires us to have to drive to the Chickasaw hospital in Ada periodically. It would be wonderful to have a facility closer to the city.
