Demolition work begins next week now that voters in Marion County have approved plans for a new $754 million Wishard Hospital. In a Studio(i) interview, Marion County Health and Hospital Corp. Chief Executive Officer Matt Gutwein says planning meetings move into gear today and people will start seeing construction work at the downtown Indianapolis site in March. He attributes the successful effort to pass a bond issue referendum to a "historic" coalition among business, labor and education leaders.

Gutwein says the project is moving quickly to take advantage of low interest rates on Build America Bonds.
Those rates will save millions of dollars over the course of the project.
He adds at the height of building more than 4,400 construction workers will be on the job.
