Description:
The National Park Service (NPS) has initiated planning for a project to replace the Visitor Center at the USS Arizona Memorial. Currently, the building is deteriorating due to foundation failure and differential settling of footings. In addition, the visitor experience has been impacted by long lines and wait times to visit the memorial. The NPS is preparing alternatives to replace the facility to provide an improved visitor experience and resolve the structural challenges. The Visitor Center is located at the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, and is owned and operated by the National Park Service.
As part of the planning phase, the NPS is holding two public open houses at the USS Arizona Visitor Center to present possible alternatives that are being considered. The format will include a brief presentation of the project and a question and answer session with NPS staff. Participants will have the opportunity to be part of the planning process including commenting on the proposed alternatives or expressing concerns about the proposed project. The open houses will be held in one of the Visitor Center's theaters.
There will be many opportunities for the public to comment on this project. The public will be able to comment on the alternatives presented at the meetings through September 16, 2006. Subsequently, the NPS will prepare and distribute environmental documentation for public review.
Additional information on the project is available on the web at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/. We look forward to your participation at the public meetings.
Meeting Directions/Instructions:
The open houses will be held in one of the Visitor Center's theaters.
