The HRBT connects the independent cities of Hampton on the Virginia Peninsula and Norfolk in South Hampton Roads. It is a four‐lane bridge‐tunnel composed of 1.8 miles of trestles, two manmade portal islands, and two tunnels under the Hampton Roads Harbor. The westbound and eastbound roadways each consist of two lanes of traffic. The original HRBT (WB) was opened to bi‐directional traffic in 1957 and connected Route 60 (now I‐64) in Hampton with Route 60 in Norfolk as a toll facility. In 1976, the second HRBT (EB) was opened to eastbound traffic. With construction of the second tunnel, tolls were removed and the original 1957 tunnel now carries Westbound I‐64 traffic from Norfolk to Hampton. Built by the immersed tube method, the tunnel was constructed of 300+/‐ foot long prefabricated tubes that were placed by lay‐barges and joined together in a trench dredged in the bottom of the harbor, and backfilled with earth. The Eastbound Tunnel consists of 21 prefabricated tubes. The Eastbound and Westbound Tunnels are separate structures, each of carries a two‐lane highway.

    A Peaceful Place, LLC Business Plan Page 1

    A Peaceful Place, LLC Business Plan Page 1 1.0 Executive Summary LINK of Hampton Roads Inc., has provided services to the greater Virginia Peninsula since December 8, 1990. LINK offers a combination of services to the community at large in the form of community-based social services to include a Veterans Medical Respite home for up to 5 persons; Veterans Emergency Shelter for up to 7 persons; emergency winter shelter for up to 550 persons during a 20 week period, annually; permanent supportive housing for homeless persons with physical, mental or emotional disabilities for up to 105 persons in 67 rental units located at scattered site rentals throughout the peninsula. Market research from Riverside, Sentara and Mary Immaculate hospitals and local hospice service providers indicates that there is a significant need for quality home hospice care and social services within the central Peninsula region and we believe that by employing competent and well-educated staff and providing them with organized and responsive management, we can become the home hospice care provider for central and lower peninsula. LINK of Hampton Roads Inc., has formed A Peaceful Place LLC, overseen and run by LINK’s Executive Director and Board of Directors located in Newport News, Virginia. A Peaceful Place Hospice Home will be housed in an appropriate single-family home with four to five individual bedrooms and bathrooms, and overseen by a separate committee of local community members comprising of doctors, social workers, chaplains, and other interested volunteer members of the community. Riverside, Mary Immaculate and Sentara Hospitals have been approached and are engaged in discussion with LINK’s Executive Director and Board Members and who are anticipated to serve as a referral basis for A Peaceful Place.

    York County Virginia th Commemorates the Sesquicentennial Anniversary of the American150 Civil War 1862 - 2012 Big Bethel To Fort Magruder Looking West on Main Street, Yorktown, 1862 Photo courtesy of Library of Congress Greetings The Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission was created during the 2006 Session of the General Assembly for the purpose of planning for and commemorating the 150th anniversary of Virginia’s participation in the American Civil War, the duration of which will be 2011 through 2015. Each locality was asked to form a local committee to begin planning for the four-year, statewide commemoration period. In early 2009, the York County Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Committee was formed and, on June 2, 2009, the York County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution supporting the State Commission and its work to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the American Civil War in Virginia. The resolution also stipulated that York County would join with the neighboring jurisdictions to support the organizational principles and statement of purpose for the Historic Triangle Civil War Committee as set forth to guide the commemoration in America’s Historic Triangle. The Sesquicentennial Committee is composed of representatives of the following: County of York Division of Historic Services, City of Newport News National Park Service (Colonial National Historical Park) Peninsula Campaign Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy Poquoson Historical Society, Poquoson Museum and City of Poquoson United States Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Watermen’s Museum York County Historical Committee York County Historical Museum York County Historical Society Dedication The York County War Memorial lists all York County members of the military who died as a result of wars as far back as Bacon’s Rebellion (1676).
