Today’s announcement that a contract has been awarded means we’re one step closer to realizing our goal of providing world-class healthcare to our servicemembers and veterans here at home, in the Veterans Capital of the U.S.” As part of the $1.7 trillion Consolidated Appropriations Act signed into law in 2022, Congresswoman Escobar championed the $700 million in federal funds for the construction of a brand-new VA healthcare center. Current construction estimates project the completion of the facility in late 2029 or early 2030. The facility will be built on 36 acres on the campus of the William Beaumont Army Medical Center complex on Fort Bliss land in East El Paso. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |
