Organizer says veterans village in Felicity has $9M+ raised, plans 28 cottages in 2025
Summary
A project organizer updated commissioners that fundraising exceeded $9 million and property is secured for a Felicity veterans village with 28 furnished cottages (22 one-bedroom, six two-bedroom) and construction beginning early 2025.
An update presented during the public portion of the Dec. 2 meeting reported progress on a veterans village project in Felicity to house homeless veterans of Clermont County.
The presenter said the committee has raised a little more than $9,000,000 and has secured property for the development. Plans described include 28 fully furnished cottages — 22 one-bedroom units and six two-bedroom units — with construction to begin in early 2025. The speaker, who identified their role as working on the committee, thanked commissioners for allowing them to provide the update and said the project will give veterans a chance to restart their lives.
The update was delivered amid a broader Veterans Day remembrance and an Eagle Scout presentation earlier in the meeting; no formal county action or funding commitment was recorded in the transcript during the Dec. 2 session.
