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.
