Our predictions as to the Mint Hill area have been supported by another key indicator of hyper-growth: Presbyterian Healthcare has announced that it plans to open a hospital in 2008 on a 50 acre site at 485 and Albemarle Road in Mint Hill. This $90 million project will fill the growing needs of the rapidly expanding population in the area. The hospital plans to employ around 350 people.
