The Mount Rogers Planning District Commission and the Appalachian Center for Hope are seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide professional assistance in developing a Preliminary Architectural and Engineering Report. The objective of this report is to identify the cost and feasibility of redeveloping the "C Building", located on the campus of the State Mental Hospital, into Longer-Term Transitional Supportive Housing for people who are advanced in their recovery, meaning that they've made sufficient progress in their recovery to successfully handle independent living, but still within a supportive, recovery-friendly environment. The A/E Report would focus on developing a physical program for the structure. This would be accomplished by assessing the building, identifying deficiencies, prioritizing the need for upgrades, and summarizing the cost for the components identified.
