TOMAH V.A. GETS FUNDING FOR UPGRADE
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008 -- 11:38 AM
The V.A. Medical Center in Tomah will get some repairs thanks to a bigger than expected jump in Congressional funding.U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) announced yesterday the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Tomah will receive $4.425 million from the 2008 VA Appropriations bill to complete a renovation of their facility.
The funding was made possible by the boost given to the Veterans Administration by the Democratic Congress, who this year provided the largest increase to the VA in its 77-year history with an allocation of $3.8 billion above what President Bush had requested.
At the Tomah VA, the additional $4.425 million will be used to renovate the second floor to accommodate 26 beds for their psychiatric care facility.
