The Statue of Liberty will reopen on Jan. 22 even if the government shutdown extends into the work week, New York Gov. (Reuters)The Statue of Liberty will reopen on Jan. 22 even if the government shutdown extends into the work week, New York Gov. Arizona has similarly said it will ensure the Grand Canyon remains open — whether the federal government reopens or not. Governors have taken actions during previous shutdowns, with Cuomo also keeping the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island open in 2013. Although Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty will remain open, dozens of other federally managed sites could close in the coming days.
