Enterprise Veterans Home Gets New Name

The Alabama State Board of Veterans Affairs (SBVA) unanimously voted to name the state’s fifth veterans home that will be built in Enterprise, Alabama after Command Sgt. Maj. Bennie G. Adkins. Adkins was deployed to Vietnam three times, with his most heroic effort during his second tour leading to receiving a Medal of Honor in 2014. Designed to match the homes in the area, the new facility is a rustic, modern farmhouse look. Located on 108 acres off Highway 51, the facility will be approximately 182,000 square feet and house 175 residents. Once in full operation, it is expected to provide jobs for more than 200 people.
