Today, Gov. Pete Ricketts announced that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has set aside $52 million for partial grant funding for the new Central Nebraska Veterans' Home in Kearney.
"This is good news and moves us closer to a new, modern facility for Nebraska's heroes," said Gov. Ricketts. "Nebraska has a proud history of taking care of its veterans, and this will be a fitting "thank you' to those who have served our country with honor."
