Chautauqua County is nearing the final steps in the process of selling the County Home in Dunkirk to a private operator. County Executive Vince Horrigan will be attending a meeting in New York City tomorrow that will determine whether or not a Certificate of Need will be granted to Vestracare.
Horrigan-Meeting will determine Certificate of Need
Horrigan says he doesn't see any reason the authorization will not be given. He says the transition from county to private ownership has been going along very smoothly with few problems.

Chautauqua County lawmakers approved the sale of the County Home by a 13 to 5 vote in February. Horrigan says if all goes well, a closing date could be set for mid to late December.
