Carson City sets up website to help veterans

Carson City has taken the first steps toward completing its veterans council initiative with a website for vets to receive local resources.

After several months of planning, the Carson City Veterans Community Council has launched its website off the carson.org site to provide a place for Carson City veterans to find information on the resources they may need.

The site features resources from where vets can find dental care to job connection programs.

The purpose of the organization is to create a central place for services to reach out to veterans and the website is the first step. Various veterans and members of the community, including Sheriff Ken Furlong, Mayor Bob Crowell and Assemblyman P.K. O’Neil, come together once a month to meet and discuss what can be done to continue to help veterans in Carson City.
