Opening of Puller Veterans Care Center Delayed to 2025, Virginia Officials Confirm

The new Puller Veterans Care Center (Puller VCC) is being built on the former Vint Hill Farms Station in Fauquier County, which previously served as a United States Army and National Security Agency facility. The site played a critical role in eavesdropping on enemy communications during World War II, when it intercepted a message that helped lead to the D-Day invasion of Normandy. The new care center will deliver top-quality care to Virginia veterans in a home-like setting. The 128-bed facility will feature all private rooms that will be organized into households and neighborhoods that surround a central community center. [Virginia Department of Veterans Services]
The Puller Veterans Care Center, a long-awaited state-run facility for Northern Virginia veterans, will not open by the end of 2024, as previously expected. Virginia Department of Veterans Services (VDVS) officials now anticipate the facility will open in early 2025, marking the latest in a series of setbacks for the project, which has been delayed multiple times since its original 2022 target.

“No, it’s not going to be ready by the end of the year,” confirmed Commissioner Charles Ziegler, who assumed his role in January. Ziegler cited pandemic-related labor shortages, ADA compliance issues, and ongoing quality control efforts as factors contributing to the revised timeline.
