Greene County will be getting a new community-based veterans center to provide readjustment counseling and family outreach, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced Wednesday.

The center is expected to open in late 2009 and will be staffed by four mental health professionals and social workers, said Gary Collins, a team leader at the St. Louis Vet Center.

Greene County is among 39 sites nationwide where new veterans centers will be built. It was chosen based on an analysis showing it is one of 15 counties with more than 50,000 combat veterans in surrounding areas not currently served by a Vet Center. The Greene County center will accommodate veterans in Southwest Missouri.
