St. John's Medical Center in Wyoming Halts Construction; Looks to Scale Back Project

St. John’s Medical Center in Jackson, Wyo., has halted its $25.9 million expansion and renovation project after estimates showed total construction costs could now be $2 million-3.5 million over budget, according to a Jackson Hole News & Guide report.

Increasing prices for a number of goods and services, such as concrete, steel and excavation work, can be attributed to rising worldwide demand for such resources, according to the report.

As a result, hospital officials hope to set forth a scaled-back plan by mid-January, which can push back the completion date from Dec. 2013 to spring 2014.
