Six hundred construction jobs could be created over the next two years with the construction of the new Porter hospital main campus, Porter Health System CEO Jonathan Nalli said Thursday. Those jobs could support a payroll between $60 million and $65 million, Nalli said. Beyond being a replacement hospital, the new facility at the northwest corner of Ind. 49 and U.S. 6 in Liberty Township could spur the economy and help move Northwest Indiana out of the recession, he said. Without specifying a number, Nalli said new jobs would also be created by the need to staff and maintain the larger facility set to open in the summer of 2012. The current Valparaiso building's 250,000 square feet will give way to 430,000 square feet at the new site. Link
