Junction City Manager Allen Dinkel has been notified that the Veterans Administration wants to build a larger clinic facility in Junction City because more space is needed. Services are currently provided at the Lieutenant General Richard J. Seitz Community-Based Outpatient Clinic at 1169 Southwind Drive.
The VA wants a building of up to 50,000 square feet. Developers are wanting to look at city owned property. Potential locations include the former call center building adjacent to South Spring Valley Road and a stretch of property near Rucker Road south of the existing Dollar General store in that northwest area of town. Other possible private locations could surface in the future.
Dinkel indicated it might be 2027 or 2028 before the project could occur. He briefed city commissioners this week and expects to bring more details back to the governing body in the near future.
