Governor Cuomo is trying to reopen it using state funds. During the last shutdown in 2013, state funds kept certain parks open, including the Statue of Liberty, which at that time cost $61,600 per day to reopen. Stay tuned....

 

 

 

Ugh. I don’t know if NYS can afford it this time around.

SOL and Ellis Island reopened this morning; will cost $65.000 per day. BUT---The Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island impact the state's economy. According to a National Park Service annual report, 4.5 million people visited Liberty Island in 2016. It generated more than $263 million in visitor spending per year and supported 3,400 jobs, with an economic output of $364 million.

Operative word, fixed for "now" = really, just getting a 3 weeks CR extension to work out a longer term solution to government funding, federal deficits measured in the trillions.

 

Meanwhile, anyone with a soon to expire U.S. passport in need of a renewal, move it on the double.

 

Earlier, a client nearly panicked as their mortgage documentation pending before the co-op board's review got stalled, unable to access/retrieve historical (prior 2 year's worth) details on the IRS website. Website was offline & calls not answered, as expected due to the shutdown.
