The Department of Veterans Affairs published a Notice of Availability for the Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) for its Build-To-Suit Lease Program. The PEA analyzes lease actions covering construction, renovation, repair, and operation of outpatient clinics, community living centers, and similar leased medical facilities nationwide, including all 50 states, U.S. territories, and Tribal Lands. Its purpose is to streamline NEPA compliance for recurring, low-impact projects that address healthcare gaps for Veterans, particularly in rural areas.
