Putnam County Commissioners agreed to an extension of the current option agreement with potential developers for a proposed VA facility.
The approval gives Putnam County Mayor Randy Porter the authority to extend the option agreement for whatever extension of time is necessary.
Commissioner Vinnie Faccinto asked if the county wanted to put an extension period of 90 days instead of an extension period of whatever time is necessary. Porter said the county would not want to do that as the county could run into an issue with the VA.
The facility could potentially be located at the current fairgrounds off Veterans Drive. Officials expected to hear from the VA earlier this year.
