  30. National September 11 Memorial & Museum Budget: $ 530 million Expected completion: September 11, 2011

  31. Criticism/Concerns of "Reflecting Absence" "There's just not an unlimited amount of money that we can spend on a memorial." -Michael Bloomberg Cost • most expensive memorial to date  ( $500 million) • $40 million for yearly upkeep •   Names • FDNY & NYPD want names of officers to appear separate  • Structure • memorial originally below ground level

  32. QUESTIONS • Do you believe that the jury was correct in stating that the 9/11 events were two occurrences as opposed to a single one (for insurance purposes)? • Given that 25% of the Port Authority annual budget is allotted toward rebuilding the World Trade Center Site, how important is it that the Port Authority completes  construction by the expected date? • How do you think the major players (those involved in rebuilding efforts) could have better accommodated the victim's families to memorialize the World Trade Centers? • The One World Trade Center was redesigned for safety reasons. With the massive Transit Hub and the Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum located nearby,  likely to attract  hundreds of thousands of people to that location, is the redesign even relevant?
