The Marion County Commission of Veterans Affairs has announced that they will be opening up a satellite office in Pella in late January. The office, located in the Pella Memorial Building boardroom, will be open on the last Friday of the month from 8 am to 4 pm on a trial basis starting on January 30th. The Veteran Service Officer will have full online access to Veterans Affairs systems to assist with connecting veterans to their VA benefits. This office will mirror the hours, capabilities, and phone number of the regular Marion County Courthouse office in Knoxville. Appointments will not be required, but those wanting to secure a time and minimize waiting can schedule one by calling Executive Director of Marion County Commission of Veteran Affairs Rob Bandstra at (641) 828-2201.
