Bloomberg, NYS Fund a 9/11 Rescue, Recovery Workers Memorial
Rescue and recovery workers will get a permanent tribute at New York City's 9/11 memorial, officials said at a ceremony of honor.
The announcement was made Tuesday at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, 9/11 Memorial Board Chair and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Jon Stewart, television personality and healthcare activist or 9/11 responders.
The permanent memorial is expected to be installed on the southwest corner of an 8-acre plaza where the World Trade Center towers fell on Sept. 11, 2001. While a design has not been completed, New York state and Bloomberg Philanthropies will underwrite the project. . .
