BAMBERG - Bamberg County Administrator Joey Preston said he s seeking additional funding as the county moves to complete a three-phase hospital renovation project.
The county has a plan to transform its former hospital into a law enforcement and health and human services complex.
Preston reported during a virtual Bamberg County Council meeting on Dec. 7 that 10 general contractors have already been pre-qualified to complete the work to transform the hospital into a law enforcement and health and human services complex. There are four bidders now that intend to submit a bid on Dec. 22. Most were from the Columbia and Lexington area, and we had one from Charleston. . Hopefully, that s going to be a pretty competitive project. So we ll know at least by the first meeting in January on how the bidding process went, he said.
