What is the economic impact of building a hospital in Bettendorf?
In 2007, the annual payroll is projected to be $24 million when the facility reaches its intended service volume. By that time, the number of employees is expected to grow to roughly 557 full-time equivalent positions in 2007. As with any large development, the hospital will serve as a catalyst for further economic development in the area. In addition, the presence of a state-of-the art health-care facility will improve the desirability of the community for both potential residents and businesses seeking a community for relocation.
