Some big development on the Bryce property story.
Department of Mental Health rejects UA's Bryce offer
Basically, the state wants $84.2 million for the 175-acre Bryce property to cover the costs of building of new hospital building and moving 2/3 of the existing patients over there. The new hospital would be on another property the Department of Mental Health owns in Tuscaloosa (Partlow). The other 1/3 of patients would be moved to community facilities across the state.
The property was appraised for $50 million. UA this week offered $60 dollars for the property with some money to go for enviromental cleanup and preservation of the historical main building at Bryce.

How classy of Bob Riley to make threats about moving jobs in this economy.
