Minnesota VA to expand food service facility

The St. Cloud VA Health Care System plans to build a bigger food services building to better serve veterans living on campus or with mental health issues


The St. Cloud VA Health Care System plans to build a bigger food services building to better serve veterans living on campus or with mental health issues, according to an article on the St Cloud Times website.

The VA will repurpose its current 1924-era kitchen and dining areas as a primary care clinic.

The main level of the new building will be used for food preparation and dining, while the basement will house mechanical and electrical equipment, and possibly lockers and offices.

Construction is expected to begin in early May on the $8.4 million project and will be completed in 16 to 24 months.
