With Evergreen Cemetery estimated to be full in three and a half years, the Post Falls City Council is exploring future options for the site along Spokane Street. During a workshop on Tuesday night, the council directed staff to compile financial data on the cemetery before it makes any decisions regarding the cemetery's future. Most of the council members appeared to support lot increases to help make the cemetery self-sustaining and to help fund a possible future expansion. "I think that the expansion and cemetery need to be self-supporting," council member Skip Hissong said. The cemetery is 11 acres, but the city owns an adjacent 6.5 vacant acres to the south for future expansion/Brian Walker, Press. More here.
