Madisonville to receive new 19,000 sq ft VA Clinic
What happened
Madisonville Mayor Kevin Cotton announced plans for a new Veterans Affairs Clinic in the city. The facility will be 19,000 square feet, and construction is scheduled to begin after the first of the year. The new clinic aims to provide local care, as the current facility is small and the closest comprehensive clinic is located in Evansville, Indiana.

Why it matters
The project is intended to strengthen Madisonville's position as a regional hub for healthcare. This investment addresses the need for local veteran care, which previously required residents to travel outside the community.
