Should Federal Government Investigate Bay Creek Connector Road Fraud?

October 22, 2017 by Wayne Creed 1 Comment

A Sept. 26 letter from the FAA indicates that Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport may have broken federal law by “subsidizing” People Express airlines — a start-up airline that began at the Newport News airport in 2014 and quickly collapsed. The letter says the airport may have allowed other public money to be “diverted,” and says its former executive director may have “improperly” used an airport credit card.

The state demands the airport pay back the $4.5 million.

The letter was prompted by a Virginia Department of Transportation audit that was released in June.

Perhaps a parallel can be drawn with the Virginia DOT subsidizing Bay Creek South, LLC (Keyser-Sinclair) by constructing the Bay Creek Connector Road with taxpayer money, when in fact the Connector Road was to be paid for by the Developer, according to the Annexation Agreement of November 25, 1991 (see below). The  Schedule for Road Improvement, clearly indicates that the Developer is responsible for the construction, posting bonds, etc. Why have the U.S. and Virginia taxpayers assumed this obligation? The Annexation Agreements became specifically attached to the Court(s) Annexation Order, Virginia Law # 27.

“Virginia aggressively pursues federal dollars for transportation, maximizing all resources available, which leaves us in an excellent position to get more funding,” Gov. Terry McAuliffe.

Time for VDOT to be audited?

The state of Virginia receives millions of dollars each year from the Federal Highway Administration. It appears time for the Federal Government to get involved to find out just why taxpayers are being defrauded, and are bearing the cost of the Bay Creek Connector Road.

Note: Every member of the Northampton County Board of Supervisors is aware of this, as is the Cape Charles Town Council. The Mirror has also queried Lt. Governor Raplph Northam, as well as the State Attorney General.

    My guess would be they have never hit the volumes of the A) and B) triggers… but VDOT went ahead and built it anyway. They define “average annual peak hour volume” in the next paragraph.

    Note: Attorney General noted triggers irrelevant See here
