I think some of that has already been announced - by the usual players - Hermann, Methodist, BCM, etc. If this is above and beyond the $2 billion plus we've already heard about, that is some major expansion. It's like they're building an airport in the Persian Gulf, right in the middle of the Medical Center.

Those 30,000 jobs work out to about 4,000 a year. Factor in the usual multiplier, and that's a nice base for some solid job growth over the next decade.
