4/2/13 - A healthcare software company is close to finishing up its $1.7 million restoration of a historical site in Dexter. MedHub bought the 22,000-square-foot building in downtown Dexter in 2011. The former grain mill, built in 1899, is a village landmark. Company President Peter Orr said that while the cost of simply tearing down the structure and starting from scratch would have been just a third of the cost of restoration, they recognized the importance of saving a community landmark and placing it back on the tax roll. The project will also allow the company to double its staff to 15 people. MedHub, which serves large academic teaching hospitals worldwide, was assisted in the effort by Ann Arbor Spark. The company expects to move in to the renovated building later this spring. (JK)
