PROPONENT: Louisville VA Medical Center DOCUMENT DESIGNATION: Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) VA proposes to site, construct, and operate a VA Medical Center (VAMC) and regional Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) office to replace the existing Robley Rex VAMC, a leased VBA office, and three of eight regional community-based outpatient clinics. The facilities to be replaced have reached the end of their serviceable lives. The replacement campus is needed to provide sufficient capacity to meet the current and projected future healthcare needs of Veterans in the Louisville service area. This EIS analyzes the potential impacts of three alternatives for the replacement VAMC. Alternative A proposes construction and operation of a replacement VAMC campus at the Brownsboro Site at 4906 Brownsboro Road, Louisville, Kentucky. Alternative B would construct and operate a replacement VAMC campus at the St. Joseph site on a parcel located east of I-265 and south of Factory Lane in Louisville.
