Success Story: The Veteran Affairs (VA) Hospital ConnectorWashington County Tennessee -This project consists of the construction of the VA Hospital Connector a 0.371 mile access road to improve access to the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center in Johnson City, TN. The roadway will connect US 11E / SR 34 to the Veterans Affairs. Campus and intersect with the campus road network at Ashe Avenue. The typical section will consist of a two lane road with 12-foot lanes with curb, gutter, and sidewalks on both sides of the road. There will be a boulevard section that will consist of four 12-foot lanes and a 20-foot grass median, which will taper into the roadway section described previously. The four lane section will have three lanes for approach and one lane for southbound traffic. Mountain Home was also designated by the U.S. Parks Service in 2011 as a National Historic Landmark and is a major attraction for tourism and regional tourism groups to the Sunny Side Trail. This project will provide numerous opportunities for the 2,000 plus people working at Mountain Home campus and also provide better traffic flow and alleviate congestion.

FLAP Project Selection Process

Each FLAP project was selected from a pool of applications submitted by the facility owner in response to a state-wide call for projects. The applications were screened, rated, and ranked using PDC approved rating criteria. The PDC unanimously agreed which projects met the established State program goals and conformed with the project ranking criteria contained in the “Call for Projects SOP”. Based upon these evaluations, the proposed projects were recommended for programming within the available funding for each state. Memorandum of Agreements (MOA) were coordinated and executed for each programmed project prior to obligation of FLAP funds. There was two calls for projects that generated nine applications totaling $5,621,674 funds requested.
