County discusses use of space at Cushing building
The Leavenworth Times
When they met this week, Leavenworth County commissioners discussed how much space in the former Saint Luke's Cushing Hospital building should be set aside for for-profit companies.
Before making such a determination, commissioners want County Administrator Mark Loughry to visit with local nonprofit agencies regarding the amount of space they would need if they move into the building.
Saint Luke's Cushing Hospital in Leavenworth closed last year and the building was donated to the county government.
Commissioners already plan to move the county's Council on Aging to the first floor of the building. The county has hired an architectural firm for design work for remodeling a portion of the building for the Council on Aging.
