No re-opening date yet for Statue, Ellis Island

Salazar visited the sites on Tuesday. Both Liberty Island and Ellis Island have been closed since the time of the storm, and suffered major damage. The Statue of Liberty itself was unharmed.

Salazar says that while a lot of repair work has been done, a lot still remains to do. He said the major issue to be decided is how visitors are screened for security, whether that process will stay in Battery Park or take place on the islands themselves. He says there will be a meeting on the issue next week.
