The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs released a document suggesting that the renovation of two shuttered, historic buildings on its West Los Angeles campus will be the first step in a plan to create a Center for Warrior Independence called for in an executive order by President Trump.
A notice inviting potential developers to an “industry day” on the campus Wednesday identifies the “seed” project as the renovation of Building 13 and the adjacent Building 306 into “a vibrant, service-oriented space that honors its historical significance.”
It describes an expansive purpose that “provides ease of access to all VA veteran benefits and services, inspires veteran personal wellness and professional development, and provides meeting spaces and food options to the entire Los Angeles Veteran community to gather.”
