Elko National Cemetery Construction Moves Forward
We anticipate the cemetery to open in Fall 2026.
• The main buildings are framed and work on the outside and roofs are moving along.
• Concrete has been poured for the Flag assembly area.
• The foundation work is underway for the columbarium and memorial wall.
Upcoming Construction Activities
In the next three months, we expect to complete the following:
• Install the ornamental fence around the perimeter of the cemetery;
• Construct sidewalks, curbs and gutters throughout the cemetery; and
• Construct crypt sections and columbarium.
We will also continue work on the framing, roofing, and internal plumbing of the Public Information Center.
