On March 30, 2018 U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer stood with local officials and Veterans at the VA Medical Center in Canandaigua to launch a campaign to secure $190M in much-needed funding for the Canandaigua Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Campus modernization project. Specifically, Schumer is pushing for funding in the upcoming Federal fiscal Year 2019 appropriations bill for the 2nd and final phase of the overall $351 million plan. The overall $351 million project is split between a $161 million Phase I that is set to break ground next month thanks to earlier funding Schumer pushed for, and a $190 million Phase II, which is the funding Schumer is now pursuing.
