Real Property for a Mixed-Use Development Including a Permanent Housing 
Facility in Lincoln, NE

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Notice of intent to enter into an Enhanced-Use Lease (EUL).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Secretary of VA intends to enter into an EUL on an 
approximately 59.4-acre parcel of land which includes 8 historic 
structures at the VA Nebraska-Western Iowa Health Care System (Lincoln 
Community-Based Outpatient Clinic) in Lincoln, Nebraska. As 
consideration for the lease, the lessee will be required to construct, 
renovate, operate, and maintain a mixed-use development. A permanent 
housing facility will be included in the development, which will offer 
preference and priority placement for Veterans and their families, and 
a supportive services program.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edward Bradley, Office of Asset 
Enterprise Management (044), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 
Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420, (202) 461-7778 (this is not a 
toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 38 U.S.C. 8161 et seq. states that the 
Secretary may enter into an enhanced-use lease if he determines that 
implementation of a business plan proposed by the Under Secretary for 
Health for applying the consideration under such a lease for the 
provision of medical care and services would result in a demonstrable 
improvement of services to eligible Veterans in the geographic service-
delivery area within which the property is located. This project meets 
this requirement.

    Approved: November 14, 2011.
Eric K. Shinseki,
Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
