From the article...

 

"Svonavec Inc. owns one of the last large chunks of land needed for the 2,200-acre memorial, including the area where the plane crashed Sept. 11, 2001."

 

How on earth could they possibly need 2,200 acres of land for this.....thats alot of land. There are some battlefield memorials that dont have that much land.

They are putting the memorial in a 2,200 acre national park. The 275 acres in question are a part of that 2,200 acres. Much of the memorial is being built through private donations.

 

HERE is more on the memorial.

 

The Loyal Order of Moose is one supporter of the project through the sale of ties commemorating those who died. We sell the ties as a fundraiser with no profit being made for ourselves.
