Clermont County says Veterans Village project is ready; fundraising effort to fill remaining gap
Summary
County officials reported the Veterans Village project has plans signed and property acquired; the county is short on funding for final balance but staff said recent outreach suggests the remaining funds are likely to be secured. The first phase will build 28 fully furnished cottages and a community center for formerly homeless veterans.
During member comments at the Jan. 15 meeting, a county official provided an update on the Veterans Village project intended to house homeless veterans in Clermont County.
The official said property and plans are in place and that county staff are "a little short" on the funds needed to begin construction, but that calls made that morning provided a promising outlook for securing the balance. The first phase is planned to include 28 fully furnished cottages, each with appliances, and a community center with offices for partner agencies to provide services on-site. The speaker said there is potential to expand in a second phase if additional property is acquired and funding can be secured.
No new funding appropriation or formal board action was recorded; the update was provided during member comments as an informational status report.
