The city of Irvine this week voted 4–1 to support building a state veterans cemetery at the Gypsum Canyon site in Anaheim instead of the El Toro Marine Base in Irvine, making it the final Orange County city to pass a resolution of support.
The resolution was brought forward by Vice Mayor Tammy Kim and Councilman Mike Carroll, who argued that the proposal to build the cemetery in Anaheim received unanimous Orange County support, including a $20 million commitment from the OC Board of Supervisors.
