MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin has announced that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is awarding $2.2 million in Recovery Act funds for improvements to the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown.
The Iowa Democrat said Thursday in Washington that the grant would provide a dining and activity room at the home.
Harkin says he helped to secure the funds through his role as a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, which wrote much of the Recovery Act.
