Colonel Prendergast Letter <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />July 14, 2014 <br />This proposed 120 -bed nursing home facility will employee roughly 190 personnel, both <br />state and contract personnel. With a Countywide population of more than 270,000, we <br />certainly have the available workforce, We have nursing schools produced hundreds of <br />qualified RNs and LPNs each year. <br />St. Lucie County has had a long and storied U.S. military history. The area is known as <br />the birthplace of the Navy SEALS, as more than 130,000 Navy officers trained for the <br />Normandy Invasion during World War II in the early 1940s. In fact some might even say <br />that St. Lucie County helped win VVWII — so let's keep that military heritage alive and <br />support the approval of the new State Veteran's Nursing Home to be built in St. Lucie <br />County. <br />We seek your support and favorable consideration of the city and county's application. <br />Sincerely <br />Peter D. O'Bryan, Chairman <br />Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br />C.C.: <br />Governor Rick Scott <br />Mayor JoAnn Faiella, City of Port St. Lucie <br />Commission Chair Frannie Hutchinson, St. Lucie County <br />Mr. Jeff Bremer, City Manager, Port St. Lucie <br />Daniel McIntyre, Interim County Administrator, St. Lucie County <br />Mr. Glenn Henderson, St. Lucie County <br />
