<div>The state will pay $651,000, covering a weeks’ worth of costs for re-opening the entire park.</div>
<div>The money will come from a mix of state and “other” dollars, Brewer
spokesman Andrew Wilder said, including funds contributed by Tusayan
businesses.</div>
<div>The announcement came after an afternoon conference call to iron out
the details, and after the Interior Department had reached similar
re-opening agreements with Utah and Colorado.</div>

<div>In a statement released late Friday, Brewer said. “I’m gratified the
Obama administration agreed to reverse its policy and allow Arizona to
reopen Grand Canyon, Arizona’s most treasured landmark and a crucial
driver of revenue to the state."</div>
“With a long weekend in front of us, I am thrilled Grand Canyon will
be open and fully operational – not only for our national and global
travelers who have long-awaited to experience one of the world’s Seven
Natural Wonders, but for the nearby businesses and communities whose
livelihood depends on the tourism it attracts."<br><br><br><div><br></div></div></div><br>=======================================================<br> List services made available by First Step Internet,<br> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994.<br> <a href="http://www.fsr.net/" target="_blank">http://www.fsr.net</a><br> mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com" href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com" onclick="window.open('https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&tf=1&to=Vision2020@moscow.com&cc=&bcc=&su=&body=','_blank');return false;">Vision2020@moscow.com</a><br>=======================================================<br><br></div> </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
