Posted September 19, 200519 yr Med center to be visible from freeway Covington welcomes project plan By Mike Rutledge Enquirer staff writer St. Elizabeth Medical Center and HealthPoint Family Care are planning a 100,000-square-foot medical building along Interstate 71/75 south of 12th Street. City commissioners this week authorized administrators to grant exclusive development rights for the multilevel building. It would include a free-standing emergency room and outpatient diagnostic services, as well as primary medical and dental care and specialty physicians' offices. Patients will be "far better served by a more visible, easily accessed location," along the I-71/75 "cut-in-the-hill," said Doug Chambers, St. Elizabeth's vice president for facilities. About 150,000 vehicles pass that location each day on the highway. Read full article here: http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050916/NEWS0103/509160406/1059/

The campus will be built on 10 acres of land along Interstate 71/75 at the bottom of Covington's "cut in the hill." The road will lead from 12th Street to the property. The state is planning a major restoration of 12th Street from the interstate east toward the Licking River.

December 23, 200618 yr Health center goes urban St. E, HealthPoint to build along I-75 BY PATRICK CROWLEY | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER Over the next three years, a significant investment in Northern Kentucky health care will rise out of a grassy tract that abuts Interstate 71/75. St. Elizabeth Medical Center and HealthPoint Family Care are teaming up to build the $34 million facility that eventually will employ up to 450 people making an average salary of $45,000 a year. The facility could dramatically change the delivery of health care, particularly in Covington and northern Kenton County, and especially in emergency care. St. Elizabeth will close the emergency room it operates at its hospital on 20th Street in Covington, and HealthPoint will close public health clinics on Pike Street and another on Greenup Street.

August 8, 200816 yr This project looks like it's about topped out. Topped out at 4 freakin' stories?!?! I mean really...that's all the taller they wanted to go with that prime location?
August 10, 200816 yr Even at 4 stories it's taller than everything else nearby (except for the spires on St. John's and Mother of God's churches). I'm not sure that this thing needs to be any taller, or that the historic part of Covington needs to have a hospital towering over it. Then again, if they need more space in 10 years, this could be seen as a missed opportunity of enormous proportions.
