Jacksonville, Fla. Cemetery Expansion

VA announced an $11.8 million contract to develop the next phase of the Jacksonville, Fla., National Cemetery, which opened for burials in January 2009. The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded the contract to a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business from Hampton, Va. This 68-acre development is expected to provide an estimated eight years of burial benefits for Veterans and their families. The project is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2011.
