Seneca County will be the home of the state’s first veterans cemetery.
That decision came on Monday with a vote to identify Sampson Veterans Memorial Cemetery as a state veterans cemetery.
The vote was unanimous among the nine-member committee tasked with selecting a site for the state’s first veterans cemetery. The size of the property and existing operation made Sampson a front-runner in the selection process. However, there were nearly a dozen responses to the state’s initial request.
The region’s state lawmakers were not only instrumental in the naming of Sampson as the state’s first veterans cemetery, but applauded the decision ahead of Memorial Day.
