Veteran Cemetery Coming To Southern Colorado
Congressman Doug Lamborn announced Thursday afternoon in Fountain that a new veteran cemetery would be coming to Southern Colorado.
Current plans are to use 440 acres of the Kane Ranch near Fountain for the cemetery, but some details still need to be worked out, said Lamborn.
The problem is that property does not have enough water, and it would be difficult to et water to the area. The government will begin advertising for other possible properties incase the original plans do not work.
It is hoped the cemetery can start operating by sometime in 2014.
The next-closest veterans cemetery is in Fort Logan which is just southwest of Denver.
