(Marshalltown, IA) — A spokesperson for the governor says there are no plans to close the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown. The spokesperson says an email titled “facility closure,” sent to employees is nothing more than a policy statement required by the federal government. The email was sent by the administrator who is now overseeing the day-to-day operations at the home. Matthew Peterson, who had been Commandant of the Iowa Veterans Home, recently resigned from the post after 13 months in the job.
