SS United States Redevelopment Project Update
Posted: October 19, 2011

This is my first update as Managing Director of the SS United States Redevelopment Project.  I'm looking forward to using this forum as a way to share information about the business side of the effort to save and redevelop our great ship of state.  As the Conservancy announced last month, we have separated the for-profit aspects of the project from the Conservancy's core non-profit mission in order to clarify our efforts and make them more efficient.

I recently discussed latest developments at the World Ship Society Port of New York Branch meeting.  The upshot is that we are gaining momentum, attracting influential supporters, and looking into more detailed possibilities for the ship.  New York remains our primary proposed site for redevelopment.

In the next several weeks, we'll be making several significant announcements about the way ahead.  I think you'll find the news both positive and realistic.

As always, thank you for your interest and support.  If you have any questions about the business/investment side of "Saving Our Ship," please don't hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,

Dan McSweeney
