LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – A new VA Medical Center is one step closer to becoming a reality after the US House passed an appropriations package funding the project.
Congressman John Yarmuth, the chair of the House Budget Committee, requested the $410 million be included in the Military Construction-Veterans Affairs Appropriations bill.
The VA has picked a location at Brownsboro Road at the Watterson for the medical center.
Neighbors filed suit last year challenging the site.
The appropriations package now goes to the Senate for consideration.
