JANESVILLE — The new Rock County Veterans Service Office that opened in early April aims to be central and accessible, where veterans can learn about benefits and have sensitive conversations in a safe, comfortable space, staff members say.
The new location, 1717 Center Ave. Suite 100, in Vlogý, consolidated once-separate Beloit and Vlogý offices and staff into one location.
