Yes, at the evening with the developer, they talked around the new hospital quite a bit and never said a word about it. As I am understanding it changes in UF upper management have caused considerable slowdowns. There is a huge information vacuum on the topic, my best and deepest digging is still turning up very little. It would be a true shame if UF backs out, another hospital group could replace them, but it would not likely then be a teaching/research hospital as originally planned. A lot of time and money has gone into this so far and the need is great, it would be a huge loss for the community and both Lake and Sumter County if nothing becomes of it.
