Black Hawk Veterans Affairs changes location

Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier - 8/6/2019

Aug. 5--WATERLOO -- A former day care center in Waterloo will be the home of a new veterans center.

The Black Hawk County Veterans Affairs Office, housed in the Pinecrest Building at 1407 Independence Ave., will open a veterans center in the space formerly occupied by Grin & Grow Child Care. The day care center did not renew its contract at the building.

Yolando Loveless, executive director of the county veterans affairs office, hopes to have the veterans center open at the beginning of next year. He's waiting for the county Board of Supervisors to approve funding for cosmetic repairs and a sign for the new area.

"There's no construction," Loveless said. "There's no walls coming down and then coming back up. ... It just needs a fresh coat of paint, and maybe some tile and roofing," Loveless said.

The veteran center will provide space for veterans to gather. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The new location has several large rooms for fitness classes, presentations, and general recreation. It also includes a kitchen.

"We can host lunches right here on site," Loveless said.

Loveless is excited about the development.

"This is not just for veterans, but for families to come too," Loveless said. "We're building that partnership with the community where we can provide space. We're going to become a one-stop shop."
