LOUISVILLE, KY — U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today regarding the announcement of a contract award for the construction of the new Robley Rex Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Louisville, Kentucky:

“I have long advocated for a new VA medical center in Louisville and was proud to secure the necessary funds for this project. Kentucky’s veterans served our country bravely and deserve to receive quality healthcare in a new, modern facility. Regrettably, they have waited since 2006 for that goal to be accomplished. Today’s announcement is long overdue, but I am glad it moves us one step closer to finally getting this facility built.”
