New Veterans Affairs medical clinic planned for Muncie

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) - Plans are in the works for construction of a new Veterans Affairs medical clinic in the central Indiana city of Muncie.

A developer is seeking a zoning board's approval to build a nearly 28,000-square-foot clinic near Indiana 332 on the city's northwest side. The Star Press reports it would replace the current smaller VA clinic in Muncie that occupies a former Osco Drug store.

Delaware County veterans affairs service officer Nate Jones says the VA is looking to expand services with the new clinic.

The plans from Burns Development of Indianapolis include about 20 exam rooms and spaces for radiology, physical therapy and group therapy. The developer aims to complete the clinic construction next year and would lease it to the VA.
