VA Consolidates Facilities

Week of December 07, 2009

The Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA)  announced the signing of a lease that will permit the dramatic expansion of services by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for Cleveland's veterans. The agreement, which creates nearly 24,000 new construction and permanent jobs, calls for VA to lease its Brecksville,Ohio-based campus. The facility will be used for medical research, offices and higher education. In exchange for the lease, VA will receive the use of office space, parking spaces and 122 housing units for homeless. Savings from the transaction will be used to fund a new blind rehabilitation center, a comprehensive rehabilitation center, a spinal cord injury nursing home, expanded poly-trauma services and an outpatient clinic in Parma, Ohio.
