Battle Creek VA Medical Center to receive nearly $14.5 million in infrastructure upgrades

BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Battle Creek VA Medical Center will be receiving $14,497,160 to modernize, repair, and improve buildings on its campus as part of the Veterans Health Administration’s Non-Recurring Maintenance (NRM) Program.
