On Wednesday, Governor Andy Beshear signed House Bill 2 into law which provides funding for the Bowling Green Veterans Center.
Local, state and federal officials broke ground on the new state-of-the-art healthcare facility in November that will serve veterans from over 17 counties in the region.
The Veterans Center will create 120 new jobs and will be the state’s fifth long-term skilled nursing care facility.
The 80,000-square-foot facility will provide 60 beds and is being built on 25 acres donated by the Inter-Modal Transportation Authority at the Kentucky Transpark in Warren County.
House Bill 2 dedicates an additional $16,630,000 in the fiscal year 2022-2023 from the Budget Reserve Trust Fund to previously appropriated budget items to complete the construction of the $53 million Veterans Center in Bowling Green.
The Bowling Green center is expected to be completed in 2024.
