The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs now expects to open its new Oakwood Community Based Outpatient Clinic on Aug. 19. The clinic was set to open June 1, but a delay in ordering furniture for the 24,000-square-foot building off Thurmon Tanner Parkway forced the calendar change. The VA went through a major reorganization in its contracting department last year, resulting in officials “re-educating (all) their contracting specialists on how they’re going to do their job, and that took specialists away from ordering,” VA project manager David Peters said Tuesday.
