This bill authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to accept a land transfer from the Montgomery County Land Bank for expanding the Dayton National Cemetery. Specifically, the bill allows the Land Bank to transfer approximately 58 acres of land located in Dayton, Ohio, situated across from the current national cemetery, at no cost to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The land is bounded by McCall Street, South Gettysburg Avenue, and U.S. Route 35, and is identified on a map dated January 26, 2024. The Secretary must begin the transfer process within 30 days of receiving the offer and must complete the transfer within three years, with the intent of using the land to expand the national cemetery. The bill explicitly states that this transfer does not require the Secretary to acquire any other parcels or enter into agreements with other entities besides the Montgomery County Land Bank. The Land Bank is specifically defined as the organization located at 130 W. Second Street, Suite 1425, in Dayton, Ohio.
