In March 13, 2015, the groundbreaking ceremony for the California Central Coast Veterans Cemetery (CCCVC) at the General Stilwell Community Center in Seaside, California marked a major landmark in the effort to construct what eventually will be a fitting tribute to the many veterans who have served our country. The groundbreaking was for a 17-acre development that will include 5,000 columbarium niches, landscaping, a memorial walkway and supporting infrastructure.
Eventually, the proposed project will become a 78-acre expanse with as many as 70,000 burial sites, which is estimated to provide for nearly 100 years of burials for veterans and their families. That eventual build-out is, of course, dependent upon funding. Even the first 17-acre phase was a challenge, as volunteers and area government officials worked together to raise about $10M. U.S.
The California Department of Veteran Affairs started CCCVC construction fall of 2015. On October 11, 2016, the long awaited Opening Ceremony was held, which included the memorial service and inurnment of Major William Williams, U.S. Army. Expansion, as yet unfunded, will include 11,500 gravesites in its 20-year build out.
