I agree with the earlier comment that using the current hospital facility in Supply as a VA facility after Novant vacates it in 2 years makes perfect sense. It is within an easy drive from Wilmington, Myrtle Beach and Whiteville, as well as all points in Brunswick County. Moreover, it is in a rapidly growing area that will see tens of thousands of new homes over the next 30 years. As a modern 60 bed facility, it would save construction time as well as costs.
As I see things, it makes so much sense that it will probably not happen. I hope the federal government will be a good steward of our money and make this choice.
