“This place is one of those sacred sanctuaries that’s close enough to services, it’s close enough to public transportation, but yet its far enough and the serenity is unbelievable,” Chair and Co-Founder of Veterans Outreach of Pennsylvania Tom Zimmerman said. “To build that comradery up for our veterans and to give them a purpose and opportunity to become a human being again.”
The village officially opens to veterans June 10.
