Congress Taking Action On Costly, Delayed VA Hospital In Aurora
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4)- Congress is taking action on the costly, delayed construction on the VA Medical Center on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora thanks to a Colorado representative.
The VA Medical Center is one of three projects nationwide that is over budget and plagued with delays.
The facility isn't even close to being completed. It could be as much as three years behind schedule.
The House Committee on Veterans Affairs passed legislation that would speed up the construction.
Rep. Mike Coffman, a Republican representing Aurora, introduced the legislation.
Coffman said, "We are one step closer to ensuring that the VA has proper oversight and expertise guiding the management and completion of the Aurora VA Medical Center."
