The St. Vincent Regional Hospital will also be a major driver of economic growth in the region. At the peak of construction, the site will employ 600-700 workers, with an estimated 1,200 total individuals contributing to the build over the course of the project.

Hopefully they'll make good use of the old facility when this is finished,

I have quoted your post while modifying the image link to be a direct link to the image itself.

When embedding an image from flickr you don't need to use the "Insert Image" button on Skyscraperpage, flickr has a share mode that creates the needed BBCode format.

You just need to hit the "Share" button, click on the tab that says "BBCode", copy the text in the box, and paste it into your Skyscraperpage Post. I have created an image to help clarify the process.
