A new state veterans cemetery near Augusta will break ground by the end of 2026, per The Augusta Chronicle. The project secured up to $10 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' State Cemetery Grants Program. Plans have changed for the entrance location on the state property. The redesigned layout centers on a ceremonial courtyard with burial sections on either side. The first construction phase includes an administration building, new internal roads, initial burial sections, and the ceremonial courtyard.
