The click was to have the County donate 20 acres for this facility. The Commission agreed that even though Sumter County may have a need because of the amount of veterans that reside within, there are plenty of health care facilities available and more planned. The Commission also agreed that Marion County would be more suited because of the centralized location.

Did I over look this in the Daily Sun or the Village News web site? Did I?

I was not aware that the county had any input or chance to say "no" to this. I think it is a state project.....last I heard getting the millions needed through the already challanged budget would be the tough area.

Did not know that the county was required to donate land.....interesting !!
