After much speculation and nearly two years of negotiation, a hospital will soon be built in Buda.
By unanimous approval, Buda city leaders Tuesday approved a Buda Economic Development Corporation (EDC) development agreement paving the way for Baylor Scott & White (BS&W) to build a full-service hospital in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).
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, which will be at least 70,000 square-feet, will also include a full-service emergency department, medical office space, operating rooms, imaging and there facilities. According to the agreement, the facility is expected to be open and operational by December 31, 2019.
