The Ontario government is making an investment to support the redevelopment of a local hospital.
Earlier today, Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff announced that the province will invest an additional $15 million into the planning and design of the new West Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Grimsby.
The new hospital will replace the existing aged facility, as well as expand capacity and help cease hallways health care for Niagara patients.
Oosterhoff says this hospital is something the region needs.
"Since the announcement of a new hospital in 2018, everyone has moved quickly to make this a reality. Getting to Stage 3 is an immense accomplishment for the many staff and planners who have helped get it to this point."
The hospital will provide several services to patients, including 61 beds, a 24/7 emergency department and high quality maternal and newborn care.
It will also provide modernized surgical suites and increased outpatient services.
Procurement of the project is expected to begin this year.
