Final construction value still to be determined The Idaho Division of Veterans Services says it will resume construction in the spring on a 64-room veterans home in Post Falls on a 7-plus-acre parcel of donated land. Veterans Services broke ground and began site work in the final quarter of 2020 and recently shut down for the winter, says Kevin Wallior, a Veterans Services spokesperson. The project is slated to be completed in the fall of 2022, he says. The estimated 83,400-square-foot facility will be located on land fronting Lochsa Street, adjacent to the Biopol Laboratory Inc. and Buck Knives Inc. facilities, in the Riverbend Commerce Park. The Jacklin Land Co. donated the land to the state.
