Sitka Assembly discusses hospital property RFP Posted by Katherine Rose | May 5, 2021 The Sitka Assembly last week (4-29-21) continued discussing the possible sale of the former Sitka Community Hospital property. But a key piece of information was still missing– just how much the property is worth. The assembly scheduled the meeting to have an open discussion about the “request for proposals” the city will soon issue to seek bidders on the property. The hospital business was sold to SEARHC in 2018, with a deal to lease the property to house long-term care. SEARHC expressed interest in purchasing the building last fall. This spring, the assembly directed city administrator John Leach to draft an RFP, and last month it held two town halls to hear public input on the possible property sale.
