Costs and Maintenance
The costs associated with operating the plaza are mainly focused on the costs of the flag itself, the maintenance of the flagpole (painting etc.), and the raising/lowering of the flag.
The Flag(s)
The flag is 30’x60’ in size and is flown daily. When possible, the flag is repaired, rather than replaced as the cost for replacement is approximately $3,000. The lifespan of a flag can be as much as (1) year if repaired but there are limits to the number of times a flag can be repaired. There isa currently (1) replacement flag but another should be purchased soon.
There are also flag weights that are utilized with the flag. Those have a lifespan of approximately (3) years and the cost for replacement is $300.
There is also a 50’x80’ holiday flag that is flown on the 4th of July each year but only for that day. The cost of the flag is $11,500 and although this flag is in good shape and repaired, when possible, it will eventually need to be replaced.
