BJC Intends to Develop 40/Mason Road Site, Afton Chemical Plans $15M Sauget Expansion

BJC HealthCare - According to WhoLou sources the BJC HealthCare board of directors intends to build a new hospital at Highway 40 and Mason Road in Town and Country. The site was formerly the headquarters for Troop C of the Missouri State Highway Patrol from 1968 to 2008.

When the troop relocated to Weldon Spring in St. Charles County in 2008 BJC reportedly purchased the 16-acre property for an estimated $8 million. Most recently West County EMS and Fire Protection House 3 have been using the facility while their headquarters at Clayton and Mason roads is being renovated.

According to WhoLou sources no timetable for the project has yet been ascertained but if it comes to fruition as intended BJC would move the 113 licensed beds it presently has at its West County Hospital in Creve Couer to the Town and Country site. BJC would then convert West County Hospital into a clinic.
