$600K Building Permit

POSTED 4/13/09

Can you imagine forking over more than half a million dollars just to get a building permit? That's how much it is costing Our Lady of Lourdes to just get the o-k to build a new hospital on Ambassador Caffery. The hospital was issued a $120 million building permit April 2nd. Lemoine is listed as the contractor. The new campus will be located on Ambassador between Verot School Rd., and Kaliste Saloom Rd. on Lafayette's south side.

Here's another crazy number - Lafayette regulations state the combined hospital / medical office complex have 1,396 parking spaces. Plans call for about 1,500 slots. Parts of the facility could open in 2011.
