Manteno site eyed for northern Illinois veterans nursing home
A Kankakee area campaign seeks to locate a veterans long term care facility at Manteno mental health center. Backers say 650000 veterans in northern Illinois need state supported beds, noting Quincy currently hosts 118 northern Illinois veterans and is 300 miles away. Financing hinges on a 14 million dollar request by 1985 plus 60 percent federal reimbursement, with expansion potential to about 900 beds. The project requires a state income tax increase and strong legislative support from Illinois leaders.
