VA Seeking New Louisville Location
KENTUCKY....
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is placing advertisements in publications asking landowners to offer sites for sale within 15 miles of University Hospital in downtown Louisville. Officials with the Louisville Veterans Affairs Medical Center say, despite some vets' objections to moving a proposed new hospital downtown, no location is being ruled out, and there will be a comment period. Officials haven't said how much money the VA is willing to spend for land, but $75 million has been approved for site selection and design.
