A new forensic psychiatric hospital has broken ground in Concord, N.H., New Hampshire Public Radio reported Aug. 31.
The new facility — which is being built next to New Hampshire Hospital, the state's main mental health facility — will feature 24 beds and will be used to treat civilly committed patients who are not competent to stand trial or not guilty by reason of mental illness.
The project is estimated to cost around $40 million and is expected to wrap construction in 2025.
