NC Children's Hospital Coming to Apex

Major economic development announcement today as a world class hospital selects Apex as its new home.

I attended the Town’s Press Conference today announcing that Apex has been selected as the site for the new $3 billion NC Children’s Hospital. This project was previously announced in January.

This is a huge win for our community. It’s bringing world-class pediatric care closer to home, creating high-quality jobs, and reinforcing Apex as a place where families thrive. I can’t wait to see the positive impact this will have on our town.

Here is a video announcement by Town Manager Randy Vosburg:

You can find the video on youtube here if you want to link or share it.

Some additional media coverage here, here, and here. Oh, and here is Triangle Business Journal incorrectly reporting last month that Cary had almost certainly been selected. Sorry guys.

And here is a WRAL article which goes into the funding challenges due to State and Federal chaos that might impact the project. I am confident though, that despite all of our political differences on a wide range of topics, at the end of the day we can all get together and agree that building hospitals and especially children’s hospitals is in fact good.

What do you think of the new NC Children’s Hospital coming to Apex? Leave a comment below!
