Project See Through
Transcript: This building was originally built by Army Corps, and stored with heavy artillery. It was used primarily by rotating naval crews who scouted the shoreline for enemy submarines. Because of times in the bunkers history, we will need to get a permit from the township that confirms the improvements made on the bunker will be safe. We also need a permit from the state park service to operate on the bunker in general. Any additional funding needed will reach out to the local benefactors in the area. Since tourism is a key to Cape May, a addition like such will bring new tourist down to the area for something new. Idea proposed 5-23-16 The security for the building will be provided by the local police to ensure that the building will not be infiltrated. Cape May MAC corporation, that is involved with historical virtues of the area, will be asked to help fund this project and possibly sponsor it. Plan: The reason for a night shift is because the bunker is considered haunted, so there will be ghost tours. Joshua Hedum Once Inside... This project has been created by What I want to do is turn the WW2 bunker on the Cape May beach into intricate piece of history that people will be able to walk through. It will be a non profit mission where all donations and money goes into refurbishing and bringing more historical value to the building. Inside the Depths Cape May, NJ Once the bunker is fully restored, it will need to be maintained at a small fee that includes water leaks, structural supports, ect. The plan of the bunkers schedule, is to be open through the summer for tourist attraction. The hours would be from 12pm until 5pm, and then a 8pm until 10pm shift. Reaching out to the local schools for additional funding, could result in field trips of history classes to experience history for free, due to the schools contributions. After many years of being on the beach and in the sand, we would have to remove resonating sand in the bunker With this project we will be trying to get the funding and permission to open the WWII bunker on the Cape May beach for historical tours. A glimpse into the past Economics The employees that will be working the tours will be receiving minimum wage plus any possible tips from hosting tours. A restoration of the structure would be needed along with painting over the graffiti. This picture was taken from inside the Bunker To ensure that people will pay to go inside, nothing will be placed at the entrance for people to see inside, without going on a tour. Reaching out for Funding Also... The cost to fully refurbish the stand-alone structure of the bunker will be more the $100,000 5/24/16-present Project "See Through" For the internal structure and layout of the complex, everything will stay the same for historical value. I would like to add more historical things inside like the artillery that may have been held there. Also, style the rooms the way they looked during its use in WWII. Expected to be carried out by 2019
