Routt County to review medical center plans

The Board of Routt County Commissioners next week will review South Routt Medical Center officials' plan to get a mill levy on the May 2 ballot.

On Tuesday, commissioners tabled their decision to approve or deny the plan, which must have commissioners' approval before the mill levy proposal can appear on the ballot. The plan was tabled so center officials could add more information; it will be up for review again at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
