HASTINGS, Mich. (AP) - An outpatient mental health and substance abuse facility is being built in Barry County.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development says a groundbreaking was held Friday for the facility in Hastings, southeast of Grand Rapids.

The agency provided a $3.7 million loan to support the project. The total cost is expected to be nearly $4.2 million.

The facility will consolidate services offered by the Barry County Community Mental Health Authority which is contributing $463,000. Services currently are spread throughout three separate leased facilities.
