Excellent community support was demonstrated at both the first and second public hearings. Does that really make a difference?
Yes. In its decisions, the State must acknowledge sufficient support for the application. The State recognized the high number of expressions of support and the number of people who spoke at the public hearing last fall. Community support is a component of all applications to the State, and it will be important for us to show the State there is a continuing high level of support for a new Davie Hospital.
