The Kansas Veterans Cemetery in Winfield is set to expand with a funding investment of $1,356,477 from the Department of Veterans Affairs. This includes $929,477 in new funding and $427,000 for reimbursement to the state.

The project will create 1,100 new plots, consisting of 550 for in-ground caskets and 550 for in-ground cremations. The expansion is designed to serve Kansas veterans and their eligible family members. Additionally, a bronze Gettysburg Address sign will be installed, and a Space Force medallion will be added to the committal shelter. The in-ground cremation garden is expected to be ready next month, while the casket garden is slated for completion in May.
