Tennessee’s Bradley County Commissioner Mark HallCLEVELAND, Tenn. – The Southeast Tennessee Veterans Home Council is waiting anxiously to hear the Veterans Administration’s new construction priority list for 2012.
This time last year the list was out and Montgomery County/Clarksville ranked high on the list with Bradley County close behind.
“It’s suppose to be on the secretary’s desk at the VA in Washington waiting on his signature,” County Veterans Affairs Director Larry McDaris told the council Thursday.
Veterans Affairs Officer Joe Davis, a member of the Tennessee State Veterans Homes Board, said he has been assured Montgomery County will be at the top of the new list and Bradley not far behind.
“Tennessee can only build one at a time,” Davis said.
