We just signed a contract with Diane Hall to purchase 40 acres of Bridle Ridge Acres, the Hillsboro Property which has been known by most people as the Hall Farm. On Friday, January 20, 2012 board president Mark Mertens, COMTREA President/CEO Stephen Huss, and Diane Hall met on site to complete the contract. Mrs. Hall noted that, “In addition to the good services that are provided by COMTREA, the home and site will be preserved for future generations.”
“The picturesque setting will remain unchanged for the most part. The house, barns, pond and horse rinks will all stay exactly as they are. This site is an important part of the Hillsboro landscape and should remain so,” Huss said.
“This purchase is the first step in our plan to create an integrated health care center campus for Jefferson County in the county seat,” Mertens added.
Huss noted that COMTREA’s mission involves the provision of a social services safety net for the county. The agency provides a broad array of safety net services including: a domestic violence shelter, forensic sexual abuse evaluation for children, comprehensive community mental health services, psychiatric nursing home care, substance abuse treatment for adults and children, psychiatric medical care, children’s behavioral health evaluation and therapy, family counseling, crisis response, court ordered counseling, parental children safe-exchange oversight, and community education.
