SOUTH BARRINGTON, Ill. (AP) – A federal agency’s proposal to build an extension of a national veterans cemetery in Chicago’s northwest suburbs is drawing concerns from one local official about periodic rifle volleys expected at the site.

The Daily Herald reports that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs hopes to acquire 15 acres in South Barrington for an extension of the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery. The cemetery is expected to have rifle fire three to five times per weekday to honor veterans as they’re buried.

South Barrington Mayor Paula McCombie says that while she supports veterans, the project’s proposed location in a residential district isn’t the best spot.

McCombie says the VA will need to gain approval for a zoning change. The area is currently designated for single-family homes and 1-acre lots.
