As Ellis Hospital continues to expand its services in the Capital Region, a new project is underway.

Local leaders announced the start of a $30 million construction project that will create a new parking garage.     

The new garage will fit 740 spaces and comes as Ellis rolls out new health care partnerships, like their expanded mental health services.

Project managers say they had community meetings before settling on the final design of the parking garage to minimize construction impacts as it is being built.
