Orange County Supervisors voted this week to ask California’s Department of Veterans Affairs and the state to begin a feasibility study to build a veterans cemetery at Gypsum Canyon in Anaheim Hills.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has yet to sign Assembly Bill 1595, a measure passed by the Legislature that requires the veterans’ department to acquire, study, design, develop, construct, and equip a state-owned and state-operated Southern California Veterans Cemetery in Orange County.
