$95 Million Veterans Clinic To Open In Nc In 2011
WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) A U.S. congressman has announced plans for a $95 million veterans affairs clinic in eastern North Carolina.
The Star-News of Wilmington reported that Democratic Rep. Mike McIntyre was in Wilmington on Tuesday to discuss plans for a new clinic set to open by July 2011.
The 100,000-square-foot facility will serve veterans who now have to drive 90 miles to Fayetteville for care. The clinic will offer a pharmacy and medical specialists.
Veterans Affairs officials say the new clinic in Wilmington will put a hold on plans for a similar facility about 50 miles west in Brunswick.
