During member comments, a commissioner updated the board that the Veterans Village project will move to a Monroe Township site and construction is expected to begin early spring. The commissioner said the new location offers better amenities and closer transportation access for veterans and that the initial phase will provide housing for 19 residents, with plans to add more units as funding becomes available.

The commissioner said rising costs had delayed earlier plans to deliver a larger project in 2028; the board will proceed stepwise, starting with the 19‑bed phase and seeking additional funding and donations for future expansion.

Next steps: Staff and project leaders will pursue site preparation, fundraising and contracts for early-spring construction; the commissioner encouraged community contributions and support.
