Student Housing Proposed On Old Cemetery
5 June 2003 - 11:00am
A businessman proposes high-rise student housing for the Univ. of Nevada, Reno on a part of the city's oldest cemetery.
"John Lawton said he would relocate affected remains if he proceeds with the plan at Hillside Cemetery, which overlooks the downtown casino area. Lawton bought the long-neglected cemetery for $10 from the university system in 1996, and later won a state law designed to allow him to exhume the remains."
