New VA Nursing Home Coming To Grovemont Neighborhood

by spccadmin
May 12th, 2010

Grovemont Neighbors of

the VA Nursing Home

President: Sophia Papadopoulos

Vice–President: Walter Moore

Treasurer: Cheryl Garvy

Secretary: Valerie Taylor

DOA/VA NURSING HOME

Adjacent to Grovemont off Woodland Drive

(Construction to start within next few weeks.)

It’s exciting that additional veteran services

and jobs are coming to our area, however…

…quality of Life for the residents of

Grovemont may change drastically.

Concerns and Questions:

 Traffic Increase due to the entrance being on Woodland Dr.

 Construction traffic on Grovemont>Northeast>Woodland and

Eastwood>Woodland

 Hazardous conditions for children and pedestrians walking to and from

park.

 River pollution from construction, grading, & installation of geo-thermal

wells, etc. will flow straight from the adjacent streams into the Swannanoa

River

 Light pollution from the around the clock facility lighting

 Noise pollution from construction, 150 – 170 employees rotating through 3

shifts around the clock, visitors, ambulances, and pick up/deliveries.

 13.2 acres to be clear cut with the majority of the project facing Woodland

and its residents – What will this do to the wildlife?

 Swannanoa 4-H camp losing 4 acres of woods, relocation of their

Cherokee Cabin, and the campers will now be exposed to the construction

instead of pristine woodland areas from which they learn.

If you are interested in learning more about this project and how it will may affect

the Grovemont Community, please contact:
