 Speaking of Beltrami County, the board had its meetings today at Discussion Center around the Veterans Home Initiative. During the meeting the board discussed the status of the local funds of the Veterans Home. The total amount they have for the Veterans Home Initiative is $42.5 million. That Veterans Home Initiative now is going into the federal government and it goes into the federal queue, which then, I believe that's in April and we'll find out if it makes it through that and shortly after that the process will start to actually build that home and start to work towards getting Veterans in a bed. Once the process starts, the Veterans Home will be built in Bemidji on land that was donated by Sanford Health. The Veterans Home will be located between the hospital and Vista North Housing. It's a very good piece of property close to the other long-term care facilities and accessed off of Ann Street. Sanford was very generous, donated a piece of property that was worth close to a million dollars and it's a very, very good thing for our Veterans. The next Beltrami County board meeting is set for April 2nd. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
