Croton on Hudson, NY: Croton Landing, a beautiful riverfront park, has been selected as the memorial site to honor four local residents who died on 9/11, emergency responders, and the many impacted by this day. Croton Landing is a beautiful and tranquil location right on the Hudson River, on a clear day you can see the Manhattan skyline, I see it as a perfect spot for such a significant memorial.
The committee who is bringing this about are Linda D. Puglisi, Supervisor of the Town of Cortlandt,Sean Murray, Mayor of the Village of Buchanan, Leo A. Wiegman, Mayor of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, Abraham J. Zambrano, Manager of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson,Janet M. Mainiero, Project Director and Croton resident.
Two steel girders from the World trade center have been approved and will be part of the design. The Port of Authority of NY and NJ, which owns the steel has been filling requests for these artifacts, there are about 1800 to 2,000. The agency requires a detailed description in each request of how the steel will be displayed. Individuals cannot receive artifacts, only cities or organizations. The requests that are pending supplied detailed specifications for the pieces they want.
The Village in collaboration with the Town Of Cortlandt, are seeking volunteers who have expertise in design, architecture, landscaping and fund raising, what a great way to give back to your community and honor those who passed on this tragic day.
