PUBLIC NOTICE
Lee County, Virginia to Enter into Programmatic Agreement with Virginia Department of Historic Resources Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and HUD Regulations (24 CFR Part 58), Lee County is conducting an Environmental Assessment for its Western Lee Housing Project. The project is a housing and mixed-use development project that will serve constituents of both Lee County and Lincoln Memorial University’s DeBusk Veterinary Teaching Center (LMU - DVTC). The subject property is located at 5692 Wilderness Road in Ewing, Virginia located wholly within Lee County. The environmental review process ensures that the project is in compliance with several Related Laws and Authorities, or if mitigation is required as a condition of the project. One of the Related Laws and Authorities is of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended (54 U.S.C. 306108 [36 CFR 800]). The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires local governments using federal funds for the development of projects to determine the affects the undertaking may have on historic properties, which are properties listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. These effects may include no effect on historic properties, or adverse effects on historic properties. When there are adverse effects, the federal agency will either avoid, minimize, or mitigate the adverse effect. Per the Virginia Department of Historic Resources’ (DHR) review of the project pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, DHR is recommending a Phase I Archaeological Survey be conducted of previously un-surveyed portions of the property’s area of potential effect (APE), as a full accounting of the APE cannot be determined at this time due to future potential design changes. As a result, Lee County is initiating consultation under Section 106. Due to the scope of the project, a Programmatic Agreement (PA) is being developed to establish a framework for identifying historic properties and assessing effects throughout project implementation. Programmatic Agreement Between Lee County and Virginia Department of Historic Resources (State Historic Preservation Office – SHPO) Lee County will be entering into a Programmatic Agreement with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in the Commonwealth of Virginia, for the Western Lee Housing Project. The Programmatic Agreement will detail Historic Preservation Activities and review procedures. Furthermore, the Programmatic Agreement includes construction, rehabilitation, and ground disturbing activities that are Exempt from SHPO review, as well as Nonexempt activities requiring SHPO review. Public Comment Period Lee County will make its Draft Programmatic Agreement for the Western Lee Housing Project available for a 30-day public comment period beginning Wednesday, August 12, 2026, and ending Friday, September 11, 2026. A copy of the Draft Programmatic Agreement will be available at the Lee County’s Administrator’s office at the Lee County Courthouse, located at 33640 Main Street, Jonesville, Virginia 24263 and may be examined or copied weekdays 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The Draft Programmatic Agreement will be posted on Lee County’s website at www.leecova.com. During the public comment period, comments may also be submitted in writing or by email. Comments should be directed to Mr. Clint Carter, Lee County Administrator, 33640 Main Street, Jonesville, Virginia 24263 or via email at ccarter@leecova.org. All comments received by the close of the comment period will be considered prior to finalization and execution of the Programmatic Agreement. Lee County invites you to participate in consultation and to sign as a concurring party in the development of the PA for the project. The proposed PA will establish a framework for continued compliance with Section 106 and will outline procedures for consultation, resource identification and evaluation, assessments of effects, and ongoing coordination among participating parties. Participation in this process is voluntary. Clint Carter Lee County Administrator
