Colorado's Aurora VA hospital funding is still up in the air while the VA is working with Congress to come to an agreement to fund the project, which is $1.1 billion over budget and years behind schedule, according to an article on the Denver Business Journal website.

A temporary funding plan was put in place in June that keeps the project funded through the end of the federal fiscal year on Sept. 30.
