Officials have closed off bids for a contractor to build the Elbowoods Memorial Health Center, which is to open in late 2011. The contract will be awarded later.
Congress earlier this year approved $17 million for the project. The health center will be built on 120 acres that the tribe owns north of Fort Berthold Community College in New Town. A walking path will connect the two.

The name of the new center is from the community of Elbowoods, which had a hospital with the same name. Elbowoods was flooded when Garrison Dam was built.
