I think the former GM site would be perfect for a new VA hospital. Excellent access to I-70 and there is about 80 acres there.
Finally…..Thanks to Todd and Jim in the Senate
If they had anything to do with it, this would be the first useful thing either of them has done in a very long time. Been wondering why we keep paying their salaries.
This is part of a public statement made by Andre Carson over a year ago. March of 2025:
“Last night, I learned that DOGE has arbitrarily terminated contract funding for a feasibility study necessary to start construction of a new VA medical facility planned in Indianapolis. The new facility is necessary because the current Roudebush Medical Center is beyond capacity and at the end of its building lifecycle – in other words, we have to build a new facility, or our veterans won’t get the health care they need.”
I think it’s weird to only mention our Senators.
Anyway, obviously it’s good that Carson & our Senators have been able to keep the project alive.
So what you’re saying is that Banks and Young got $2 billion with no idea if that is enough for the new facility because DOGE cut the planning project?!?
Kudos that the money got allocated, and most likely Kudos goes to some of the other Indianapolis Congressional delegates as well!
From your quote Carson didn’t do anything, just another sound bite as usual
The quote doesn’t say he didn’t do anything, just you are saying he didn’t do anything – or at least hoping he didn’t.
Some folks in the IBJ comments love to disparage Andre Carson specifically every chance they get. I wonder why
Some people in this comment section love to disparage R’s and conservatives every chance they get.
Wonder why??
Keith, it’s because R’s don’t really have any guiding principles today. The real conservatives left the party long ago. What remains is a cult willing to sacrifice everything this country is supposed to stand for at the altar of Trump.
Correct!!!
maybe there is some space up by the new IU facility. Maybe the two facilities could share some expenses, make for other cooperation between the two facilities that might combine to make for better care at a lower cost to taxpayers. Just a thought.
Maybe there *are*…? That ship has sailed dude, The IU project is already at least five years in and I believe the tracts they own are under a planned development.
Scratch the first grammatical snark…!
Clarification: The 10th Street VA hospital construction was actually started in 1949-1952, and the hospital opened on Feb. 3, 1952. This occurred as part of a nationwide strategic movement to affiliate and co-locate VA hospitals with medical schools. There have been several significant additions to the original building over the decades, with the last major one in the mid-1990s.
It was the original Indianapolis VA hospital on Cold Springs Road (that later became the 2nd site for Larue Carter Hospital) that opened in 1931. It was built on 30+ acres of land along the White River that was donated by Indianapolis businessman (a former Eli Lilly and Company director) and civic leader William Fortune. That building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is currently being renovated in a Marian University community educational project known as The Grove at Cold Spring.
