One of the worst kept secrets in Buda is a mystery no more.
By unanimous approval, Buda city leaders Tuesday approved a Buda Economic Development Corporation development agreement that paves the way for Baylor Scott & White to build a 70,000-square-foot, full-service hospital in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
According to the agreement, Baylor Scott and White intends to make an investment of at least $35 million in land, buildings, equipment, inventory and other improvements necessary for a full medical facility. The hospital will also include a full-service emergency department, medical office space, operating rooms, imaging and other facilities. According to the agreement, the facility is expected to be open and operational by December 31, 2019.
