Stevenson and Williams foreman for the $1 million construction of the centre Mike Hood, of Dunedin, is pictured updating East Otago Health Trust chairwoman Mary O’Connell about the project. Almost $1million has been raised from a range of trusts and from the Palmerston and East Otago community.
The roof was on and the windows were in and the electricians and plumbing subcontractors had started work, Mr Hood said this week. The East Otago Health Trust had raised $981,000, Mrs O’Connell said. There was only $19,000 to go to reach the target but further donations would be welcomed.
It was hoped the building would be handed over in August or September, Mrs O’Connell said.
