"A. Out of this appropriation, $3,000,000 the first year from the general fund is provided for the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to convert 10 existing beds at the Southeastern Virginia Training Center so that they can accommodate a skilled nursing level of care. Agencies involved in the review and approval of funds, design plans, and procurement documents supporting this project shall expedite their involvement with respect to the emergent nature of this project. To the extent that general fund appropriation provided in this item is supplanted by federal funds available for this project, the Director, Department of Planning and Budget, shall transfer unused general fund appropriation from this item to project 720-18731, Renovate, Repair, and Upgrade State-Operated Facilities, to be used to address other critical deferred maintenance needs at DBHDS statewide facilities."
Explanation
(This amendment provides $3.0 million the first year from the general fund to convert 10 existing beds at Southeastern Virginia Training Center to a skilled nursing level of care. These conversions will enable transfer of residents at Hiram Davis Medical Center (HDMC) with respect to its anticipated closing by December 2027. Due to the emergent need for this project, language provided in the amendment directs expedient action by all state agencies involved in the progression of this capital project. The amendment also enables the utilization of federal funds for the conversion work and, in the event they are made available, directs transfer of any supplanted general funds to another DBHDS project to be used for critical deferred maintenance needs at other statewide DBHDS facilities.)
