It encompasses {{convert|526|acre}}, and began interments on January 7, 2009.[1] HistoryThe relatively close St. Augustine National Cemetery was closed to interments in the 1990s, so the nearest location was the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, 143 miles from Jacksonville.[2] Site statusInitial construction began in August, 2008 and created a {{convert|20|acre|adj=on}} burial area with temporary facilities. Stage 1A was completed in December, 2008, and the grounds were consecrated January 5, 2009. The second construction stage is scheduled to commence in the summer of 2009 and include an entrance, roadways within the {{convert|52|acre|adj=on}} section, permanent buildings for administration and maintenance, a public information center and two shelters for services during inclement weather.[3] Infrastructure consisting of drainage, fencing, landscaping, irrigation and utilities is also being built. The section under development will provide 8,145 gravesites, including 7,300 pre-placed crypts, 5,100 in-ground cremation sites and 4,992 columbarium niches.[1] As of May 2011, the cemetery contained the remains of over 1,000 veterans, despite being open for just 28 months.
