Monument 11 September New York


NEW YORK - giant fountains and two ponds plus giant twin waterfalls on each side, is one of the attractions of the National Park Museum and the September 11 World Trade Center complex (WTC) KotaNew York, United States (U.S.). Magnificent building skyscraper with an underground museum that is still in the process of completion, have drawn 4.5 million visitors in its first year of operation.Unfortunately, all the beauty of the feast for the eyes in the center of New Yorkitu took a lot of cost for the completion and maintenance. Foundation managers tragedy memorial park and museum 11 September 2011 attacks (9/11) estimates the total project completion swallow a budget of U.S. $ 700 million.In addition, maintenance costs could reach U.S. $ 60 million per year. Wow!Inevitably, many supporters of the plan includes the construction of this building who are concerned about the size of the budget. In fact, without a huge government subsidies, it is feared that the building maintenance and operasionasilasi be sustained.By comparison, this year's National Landscape Agency budgeted U.S. $ 8.4 for the operation and maintenance of the Gettysburg National Military Park, the U.S. $ 3.6 million for the USS Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbor. While for managing Arlington National Cemetery which has more than 14,000 graves and receives 4 million visitors per year, the allocated budget is U.S. $ 45 million per year.But officials managing monument memorial 9/11 WTC say the problem is unique to the difficult cases compared with memorials nationwide. The foundation plans to spend at least one-fifth of the operating budget, or about U.S. $ 12 million per year, for the purposes of a special anti-terrorism security.One of the security systems in place for visitors this monument is equivalent examination plus airport armed guards patrolling every part of the monument. "The fact that this place was attacked twice," said Joseph Daniels, president and chief executive of the foundation managers of monuments of 9/11, as reported by Yahoonews, Monday (10/09/2012).For example, just to operate two giant fountains that mark the site of the former twin towers once stood, will cost between U.S. $ 4.5 million to U.S. $ 5 million per year, foundation spokesman, Michael Frazier. Furthermore, the foundation refused to specify the needs of other costs, including the estimated operational costs are expected to remain the old museum completed.The museum building should be able to be opened to the public this month, but construction was halted construction of all of last year due to funding disputes arising between the foundation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jerseys elaku landowners.Daniels said it would take at least a year to complete the construction of its construction. This means that the museum may not be fully complete and accessible to the public at least until 2014.Until now, the price of admission this location has not been determined. However, if the number of visitors could reach an average of 2 million per year with an estimated U.S. $ 12 entrance fee, it will be able to cover 40 percent of operating costs.The management will also seek voluntary contributions from the public, raising funds to support the sale of memorabilia for its operational expenses. While the U.S. public proposal must bear one-third of operational costs through taxes, Congress has rejected.
