The memorial at the World Trade Center site has been slow in coming. Many families will be very glad of this news.
NEW YORK (AP) — The head of the agency that owns the World Trade Center site says the Sept. 11 memorial will open on the 10th anniversary of the attacks — and will remain open.
But that doesn’t mean the memorial will be completed by then.
Executive Director Chris Ward says the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is still determining how much public access will be allowed while the construction continues.
Reflecting pools over the twin towers’ footprints and walls with the victims’ names engraved on them will be built by Sept. 11, 2011.
Construction on the memorial began in 2006.
Ward spoke at a state Assembly committee hearing on Thursday
