JHR7464Q016 B Arlington National Cemetery recently completed an expansion. The next expansion is in the planning stages and can be expected to add 10-15 years to the life of the cemetery (taking it to the 2050's under current ANC eligibility policy). This expansion is projected to cost $274 million dollars* (rough order of magnitude). The expansion will add 40-60,000 burial plots to the cemetery at a cost of approximately $4,500-$6,800 per plot. As a taxpayer, do you believe this cost is reasonable?

JHR7464Q019
One option to prolong the life of the cemetery is expansion. Since the cemetery currently borders private neighborhoods, Joint Base Myer/Henderson Hall, several highways and the Marine Corps War Memorial, any expansion effort would involve encroaching one of these bordering areas. The last expansion resulted in expanding the cemetery by 34 acres and cost the taxpayer a quarter of a billion dollars.

JHR7464Q016 B Arlington National Cemetery recently completed an expansion. The next expansion is in the planning stages and can be expected to add 10-15 years to the life of the cemetery (taking it to the 2050's under current ANC eligibility policy). This expansion is projected to cost $274 million dollars* (rough order of magnitude). The expansion will add 40-60,000 burial plots to the cemetery at a cost of approximately $4,500-$6,800 per plot. As a taxpayer, do you believe this cost is reasonable?
*This cost figure does not include the cost of moving the military organizations who formerly had office space in the Navy Annex, demolition and remediation, or future operations and maintenance costs for said expansion.

Undecided




JHR7464Q017 C Knowing that the vast majority (nearly 100%) of Veterans are also eligible for one of the 135 other National Cemeteries, do you still feel that cost is reasonable? Yes
Y Radio button, one-up vertical Skip logic P3: Eligibility Remain Same_Cost Not Factor



No, I have changed my mind







Undecided




JHR7464Q018 D If you believe rules should change, is there a group(s) of Veterans that you feel strongly should remain eligible? Any Veteran with an honorable discharge regardless of wartime service
Y Checkbox, one-up vertical Skip logic P3: Eligibility Rules Change_Who Remain Eligible



Retirees







Killed in action







Those who perish on active duty







Recipients of the Medal of Honor







Recipients of other high awards (e.g. Purple Heart, Silver Star, Distinguished Service Cross etc.)







Politicians







Former POWs







Others whose service is deemed to have been active duty service (i.e. Merchant Marines)




JHR7464Q019
One option to prolong the life of the cemetery is expansion. Since the cemetery currently borders private neighborhoods, Joint Base Myer/Henderson Hall, several highways and the Marine Corps War Memorial, any expansion effort would involve encroaching one of these bordering areas. The last expansion resulted in expanding the cemetery by 34 acres and cost the taxpayer a quarter of a billion dollars. This recent expansion added 7 years of life to the cemetery ($.25B for 7 years).

Do you think Arlington National Cemetery should be expanded further at similar cost?
Yes
