YOUR LETTERHEAD HERE <br />CURRENT DATE HERE <br />Frannie Hutchinson, Chair <br />St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners <br />2300 Virginia Avenue <br />Fort Pierce, FL 34982 <br />Re: St. Lucie County's Application for Florida's 7m State Veterans' Nursing Home Site <br />Dear Commissioner Hutchinson: <br />Indian River County's Board of County Commissioners is happy to support St. Lucie County's effort t <br />construct the State's 7th Veterans' Nursing Home — a much-needed asset in a region where the veterans' <br />population continues to expand. The proposed site in Port St. Lucie is within easy access to veterans and <br />their loved ones from Indian River County. This would be a win for region, and the entire state. <br />Our veterans currently must travel to Daytona Beach, in some cases more than 125 miles to the north,to <br />receive end -of -life care in a State Veterans' Nursing Home. A facility in adjacent St. Lucie County would <br />be far more convenient for those who have so proudly served our nation. This is a benefit that they y richl y <br />The 190 jobs and the associated economic impact would also greatly help the Treasure Coast. This region <br />has suffered badly throughout the recession, with unemployment and foreclosure rates that have beenn <br />among the highest in the state. The benefits of such a facility here cannot be overstated. <br />I wish you well in your application process and look forward to seeing a positive outcome to your effort <br />to build Florida's 7th State Veterans' Nursing Home. <br />Best regards, <br />YOUR NAME <br />YOUR TITLE HERE <br />114 <br />
