NEW WINDSOR – The Town of New Windsor received $330,420 from the state Department of State Division of Cemeteries for headstone repair at the town-owned Woodlawn Cemetery.
The grant will fully fund repair of over 450 monuments that are dilapidated or in a state of disrepair.
Last spring the town took over ownership of the cemetery from a private cemetery association that had failed financially. Since then the town has invested in bringing the cemetery standards back up and working to make improvements.
Work on the headstones is expected to begin this summer and be completed in 90 days.
“New Windsor is proud to be restoring Woodlawn Cemetery to pay proper respect to those who are buried in these hallowed grounds,” said Town Supervisor George Green.
