Expansion project

The State of Maine, through its Maine Veterans Services and Maine Veterans Cemetery System divisions, received a $1,020,765 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration under the Veterans Cemetery Grants Program (CFDA 64.203). The grant will support the expansion and improvement of veterans' cemetery infrastructure and operations within the state. Specifically, the funding will be used for cemetery construction, renovation, and upgrades to increase burial capacity and enhance memorial services for veterans and their eligible family members. This grant award is part of the VA's ongoing efforts to complement the national cemetery system by providing financial assistance to state and tribal governments for establishing, expanding, and improving veterans' burial facilities across the country.
