I. SUPPORT FOR MERCER MEDICAL SCHOOL EXPANSION:
Approval is requested to support the resolution for the Mercer Medical School
Expansion in Columbus. The economic impact to the community will provide many

million in capital investment. There will be approximately 75 new jobs
(faculty/staff) added to this campus with an annual operating budget of $20
million including a state appropriation of $9.2 million. Every new physician
that starts a practice in Columbus will generate in excess of $2.5 million in
economic impact. The student population will grow from 30 to 240 over the
first 3-4 years. Contingent upon the state providing operating capital to this
project, the commitment will be $100,000 per year for 5 years funded thru the
