The 2007 Oregon Legislature authorized $458 million for two mental health facility projects, one in Salem and one in Junction City. The facilities were built by Hoffman Construction, Oregon's largest general contractor... $1.8 billion in revenues in 2014. These two facilities were intended to provide 960 beds. If the designated $458 million was spent entirely on construction, leaving nothing for operational costs, that's paying $477,000 per bed and , at Junction City, $425,000 per year per patient for yearly maintenance.

Seems a little high to me, but then I'm not a mental health care expert, just a taxpayer.
