Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly

Central Peninsula Hospital is buying the independently owned Surgery Center of Kenai for nearly $10 million.The purchase of the two-operating room facility will, in turn, expand the hospital’s capacity and allow it to address a backlog of surgeries.

Assembly members voted to support some big-ticket items including the over $9 million purchase of a surgery center for Central Peninsula Hospital.The Assembly also supported spending $16 million to replace a fire station for the Central Emergency Service Area to be paid for with municipal bonds. Now, the question over whether to purchase the upgraded facility will be put to voters in the Kenai Peninsula Borough election on Oct. 4.

“I'm not a big fan of bonds and debt and taking on more payments, just in general,” Assemblymember Bill Elam said. “But, I've been to a lot of these schools now. And we really do need to get some of this stuff addressed.”

A proposed solar farm in Sterling could add to the peninsula's growing portfolio of renewable energy projects.
