On Tuesday evening, the Champaign County Board starts a discussion of what to do next with the county nursing home, now that voters have rejected a tax hike but approved the possibility of selling it. Meanwhile, the nursing home advisory board will explore another proposal — running the facility as a non-profit institution with help from local healthcare institutions. 

Voters in Champaign County are considering two different referenda affecting the Champaign County Nursing  Home. One is to raise a special property tax that funds the facility, while the other would allow the county board to consider its sale or disposal. 

Champaign County Board members want more information about the finances of the county nursing home, before they decide on a proposed tax referendum to fund the home.
