RINGGOLD – The Catoosa County Board of Commissioners, Catoosa County Public Facility Authority, and the Carl Vinson Institute of Government at the University of Georgia are asking citizens to share their ideas about the redevelopment of the Hutcheson Hospital property through an online survey.

The Catoosa County Economic Development Authority accepted the donation of the hospital and its surrounding 30 acre property from Enots, LLC in December 2021. Then the property was transferred to the Catoosa County Public Facility Authority. CHI Memorial Hospital Georgia continues to serve north Georgia at the main building through a leasing agreement with the CCPFA. CHI Memorial announced plans to start construction of a new, state-of-the-art hospital to serve north Georgia in the near future.

The Carl Vinson Institute of Government conducted a study funded by the Lyndhurst Foundation to identify potential uses for the buildings and property, which can be seen at: https://ugeorgia.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_elZSOCX5f1llLnM.
