This bill proposes an appropriation of $3,000,000 from the strategic investment and improvements fund to the North Dakota Department of Veterans' Affairs. The funds are designated for a grant to a nonprofit organization to cover construction costs related to a chapel, parking lot, and other necessary infrastructure at a veterans' national cemetery within the state. This funding is intended for the biennium starting July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2027, and is classified as a one-time funding item.
The bill emphasizes the importance of supporting veterans' memorials and facilities, ensuring that the necessary infrastructure is in place to honor and serve those who have served in the military. By providing this financial support, the state aims to enhance the services and amenities available at the veterans' national cemetery, thereby improving the overall experience for veterans and their families.
