What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A new district in Humboldt County is seeking voter approval for Measure K, a $25 million bond measure intended to fund a new hospital for the Southern Humboldt Community Healthcare District. The district initially planned to finance the hospital using USDA Rural Development or another lender, but the financial outlook changed following the passage of HR 1. Matt Rees, the district’s CEO, noted that HR 1 could reduce the district’s bottom line by approximately $3 million once fully implemented.
