According to Noem's West River Regional Director Brad Otten, the Representative will hear updates from several of the Save the VA Campaign committees and may take questions, if time allows.
Presentations expected include those from the Business, School, Domiciliary and Veterans Committees.
"This is the biggest thing that we are working on in the area right now," Otten said on Monday afternoon.
