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
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!
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.
