The Bastrop facility will be situated on 25 acres at Old Austin Highway and Hasler Boulevard, not far from Texas 71. Dennis Jack, hospital CEO, tells GlobeSt.com that the hospital has the site, currently undeveloped land where cattle graze, under option. Several buildings, totaling 50,000 sf, for doctors' offices also are planned.

Jack says work could start on the Bastrop project by October. The Smithville expansion also should be under way this year.

Smithville Regional Hospital is operated by the non-taxing, not-for-profit Smithville Hospital Authority. The 36-bed hospital in Smithville opened in 1995. Bastrop is about 30 miles east of Austin on Texas 71 and Smithville is about 12 miles farther east.
