Sacred Heart clears Tiger Point
property
Sacred Heart Health System is completing preliminary site work to
prepare a 10-acre property in Tiger Point for future development of
a medical office complex along U.S. Highway 98. Detailed plans for
the overall project have not been finalized, and no date has been
set for the start of construction. However, Sacred Heart plans to
use part of the site to build office space that will replace the
current Sacred Heart Medical Group offices in Tiger Point, located
about a mile away on U.S. 98. http://www.gulfbreezenews.com/news/2008/1204/community/027.html
