The Bennington facility is on the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs’ priority list for construction grants during the coming year. “I am committed to working with the state and the VA to ensure the veterans’ home can make these much-needed repairs,” said Sanders. “The men and women who have served our country in uniform deserve quality care in a safe home.” The Bennington kitchen-renovation project is part of the VA’s commitment to providing a safe living environment and medical care for aging and chronically-ill Veterans. The federal share of the project is $994,045. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
