Corpus Christi projects hit rapid pace at hospitals, schools, retail

​CORPUS CHRISTI – Nearly $34 million!

That’s the value of a slate of newly submitted and permitted project city officials reviewed during the first week of April, and the developments are planned for a bevy of industries across the city.

The headliner project on the weekly list is a rehabilitation hospital destined for 345 S. Water St., which received the permit required for work on about $11.3 million of the approximately $23 million build. Construction is expected to take about a year.
