Dayton National Cemetery Expansion Act of 2025
Dayton National Cemetery: Land Expansion for Veterans
This bill is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Veterans Affairs after a subcommittee approved it. It is actively moving through the early stages of the legislative process. There are no companion bills listed at this time.
Legislative Progress
This bill has strong local support and provides land to the government at no cost. Bills that support veterans and don't require new spending often pass with broad support.
Key Points
- This bill allows the Department of Veterans Affairs to take over 58 acres of land in Dayton, Ohio. The land is located right across from the current Dayton National Cemetery and will be used to create more space for veteran burials.
- The Montgomery County Land Bank is offering to give this land to the government for free. The bill requires the VA to start the transfer process within 30 days of getting an official offer and finish the deal within three years.
- Expanding the cemetery helps ensure that local veterans and their families have a final resting place close to home. Without more land, many national cemeteries eventually run out of space and have to stop accepting new burials.
