The Veterans Hospital in Aurora, Colo. is still incomplete and lawmakers are starting question if construction officials mislead congress, according to an article on the Healthcare Construction + Operations website.
Twenty-three lawmakers asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate if Veterans Affairs executives lied to congress to conceal excessive construction costs.
“It is an absolute fact that numerous VA officials repeatedly misled Congress regarding cost overruns related to the replacement Denver VA medical center,” committee chairman Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Florida, said in a statement.
The original date of completion was slated for sometime in 2014, however, after a series of setbacks, the hospital is now slated for completion in Jan. 2018.
