PORTLAND, Maine (AP) The Veterans Administration’s newest health clinic offers a 62,500-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility in Maine’s largest city.

The VA Maine Healthcare System’s new Portland VA Clinic, which opens for business on Monday, consolidates existing VA clinics in Saco and Portland.

The VA’s state director, Tracye B. Davis, described it as a “beacon to the veterans in Maine that will let them know, we are here, we care, and we’re ready to provide them the health care services they deserve.”

The new location will include a 250-space parking garage dedicated to Veterans and a 150-space surface parking lot for staff.
