Story broke a while back with the Gen Assembly allocating 320 mill or some such
The curious part to me is that it will be "somewhere in the Triangle". Wake Med is a big time Pediatrics Hospital in Raleigh, Duke has one in Derm, UNC has one in CH. Whereever it is put it will be "in competition" with one or more of those
Since Dix got moved to Butner there has certainly been a shortage of Psych beds , for children and others, in the area . But this Hospital is set to be an all encompassing Pediatrics hospital
Any of ya'll have any insights?

Rex is more centrally located and has a very desirable patient population but I don't know how much room they have on that campus.

Holly springs probably has a lot more room and also has a very desirable patient population nearby but isn't as centrally located. With that said, Holly springs would compete less with Duke and WakeMed. That would be my guess.
