Planned new VA hospital in St. Louis

If enacted, this would let the VA build a major medical facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Congress would authorize up to $1.76 billion for fiscal year 2026 (or when funds are provided) from the Construction, Major Projects account. Work would include a new bed tower, clinic expansion, a combined admin building and warehouse, a utility plant, and parking garages. The total project cost could not exceed $1,762,668,000. The Secretary may carry out the project; it would not be required. This could improve access to care for veterans in the St. Louis area and support construction jobs.
