New Las Vegas Medical Center
VA has awarded a $364.9 million construction contract – the largest ever awarded by VA – to build a new medical facility in Las Vegas by September 2011. The new full–service hospital, nursing home and additional structures will provide medical, surgical and mental health care, as well as ambulatory care facilities, pharmacy, laboratories, education, and diagnostic and treatment clinics on a 150–acre campus near Nellis Air Force Base.

Economic Stimulus Payment
Time is running out to receive your economic stimulus payment. Most tax payers qualify, and many who don’t regularly file a tax return also qualify. You qualify if you have a valid Social Security number, cannot be claimed as a dependent on somebody else’s tax return and have either an income tax liability or “qualifying income” of at least $3,000, including some Social Security and VA benefits. Be sure to file a 2007 federal tax return by Oct. 15, 2008, even if you normally don’t have to file a return. (more*)
