(KMZA)--The Nemaha Valley Community Hospital in Seneca is looking at moving and expanding the hospital’s helipad.
Hospital representatives Kiley Floyd and Mike Stallbaumer met with the Nemaha County Commission Monday to discuss the possibility of obtaining an easement from the county so they can re-locate and enlarge their helipad.
The property is located on the north side of the hospital and south side of the county’s fairgrounds on Community Drive.
Stallbaumer said FAA regulations state that the helipad needs to be a 40 by 40-foot hard surface pad and needs to be further from the hospital building. The current pad is 24 by 24-foot.
There are also trees on the property that would need to be removed.
Following discussion, the Commission advised the hospital representatives to move forward with getting the property surveyed and speaking with a tree service about relocating some of the trees in the area.
