Superintendent John Piltzecker announced the next step toward completing the Statue of Liberty New Museum Project: a Finding of No Significant Impact(FONSI) for the Preferred Alternative has been signed by National Park Service (NPS) Regional Director and a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) has been filed with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. Both documents are now available online at the project website: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?parkID=277&projectID=53236&documentID=75793

The NPS selected the Preferred Alternative for implementation as described in the FONSI. The NPS will construct a new, approximately 20,000-square-foot museum in the northwest portion of Liberty Island adjacent to the Administration Building. It will accommodate 800-1000 visitors per hour. The FONSI explains why the Selected Alternative will have no significant effects on the human environment. It is based on the environmental assessment and the comments received from the public, agencies, and staff during the public review period, which concluded June 25, 2016. Comments received are addressed in the FONSI. No changes were made to the selected alternative as a result of these comments.

The MOA among the NPS, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, New Jersey and New York State Historic Preservation Offices, Delaware Tribe of Indians and Stockbridge-Munsee Community outlines a process for mitigating and minimizing adverse effects to the Statue of Liberty and its setting. It commits the NPS to consulting with the signatories listed above and the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission throughout the design process to minimize the effect of the new building on the Liberty Island setting. It also directs NPS to update the cultural landscape report and interpretive plan for Liberty Island to include the earliest Native American use of the island through the changes wrought by the construction of the museum. The MOA process will ensure that the NPS fulfills its obligations under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

Additionally, a Heritage Impact Assessment for this project was prepared and submitted to the UNESCO World Heritage Centre. It examines the impacts that implementation of the project would have on the Outstanding Universal Value of the Statue of Liberty. This report is also available online.

The purpose of the project is to move the Liberty Island Museum out of the Statue's Pedestal and into a new facility on the island so that all visitors can experience a richer interpretive experience.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
