Senator John Hoeven announces $1.8M federal grant for North Dakota Veterans Cemetery in Mandan

(Fargo, ND) -- Senator John Hoeven announced Tuesday that the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery in Mandan has been awarded a federal grant of $1.8 million. 

Hoeven says the funding will be used to provide 1,440 columbarium niches, landscaping and infrastructure on approximately one acre of land, supporting additional burial options for the state’s veterans and eligible family members. 

“The North Dakota Veterans Cemetery is a beautiful resting place for the brave North Dakotans who have served in the military,” said Hoeven, a member of the Senate Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Committee. “This funding will help ensure NDVC is able to continue providing the honors and recognition active duty, Guard and Reserve veterans have earned.”
