The bill outlines the requirements for the Executive Office of Veterans Services to submit an annual report on the construction of the new long-term care facility at the Veterans Home in Holyoke, as mandated by Section 4 of Chapter 15 of the Acts of 2021. The report, due by December 31 each year until the project's completion, must include a current project description, progress updates, cost summaries, project schedules, and details about the designers and contractors involved, including their compliance with participation goals for minority and women workers.

Key updates in the report for calendar year 2024 include the project's overall schedule remaining on track, with significant milestones such as the groundbreaking ceremony in August 2023 and the topping-off ceremony in November 2024. The construction is approximately 30% complete, with a total project cost estimated at $405,334,600, and the Commonwealth has secured a VA State Home Construction Grant Program for 65% federal reimbursement. The report also highlights workforce participation percentages, indicating that the project is on target to meet established diversity goals for minority and women workers.
