City of Casper Looks to Expand Highland Park Cemetery
The Highland Park Cemetery will expand, according to an ordinance that passed on first reading at the Casper City Council on Tuesday.
The city is requesting the plat to create the Highland Park Cemetery Addition No. 2 to clarify the legal descriptions of about 29,450 burial plots and to incorporate previously unplatted property at the south end of the cemetery, according to a memo to City Manager Carter Napier from the city s Community Development Director Liz Becher.
The land area is about 73 acres.
State law also requires cemeteries to be formally platted as subdivisions.
