VA hosts Montrose meeting tomorrow

- July
- 28
If you’re at all interested in the future of the Montrose VA hospital grounds, you want to try and get over there tomorrow (Tuesday) evening, when the VA is expected to announce that it will seek proposals for developing the pristine Hudson River property.
Apparently, the VA has decided not to embrace Westchester County’s “Veterans Village’’ concept without considering other options. The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in building 15. The Journal News and lohud.com will be there to cover what happens.
Earlier this month I wrote a story outlining the Veterans Village plan and noting that county officials anticipated that the VA would decide to seek new development proposals.
Local supporters are worried that the VA will sell out to the highest bidder and provide little or nothing for veterans. The VA did not return calls seeking comment at that time. Now is your chance to make sure they hear your thoughts.

Rich hello again I cant understand why the va is taking this action Their are about 160,000 thousand homless veterans in this country and a place lke a veterans village would help them and relieve the va of a over bourden system the va. If they think that getting monies from various contractors would help the va this in my opion is a backwords way of doing it a veterans village in this state would work why cant it also help others in other states as well. Again this meeting should be very interting i hope many of us veterans come out and explain to our friends at the va they are upset at them for this action
