Phase I of 9/11 Memorial to be Dedicated Sept. 11th at Croton Landing

Participants made up of citizen volunteers from the Task Force, supporters from the community and construction industry,  first and second responders, family members of 9/11 victims,  and public officials will gather in the Croton Landing parking area of the River Walk at 2:30 p.m. Led by a color guard from the local volunteer fire departments they will walk in procession along the half-mile pathway north to the site on the Hudson River.  A van from the Village of Croton will be in the parking area to transport those who need a ride to the site.  

Janet Mainiero of Croton, project director of the BCC 9/11 Remembrance Memorial, will open the ceremony with a remembrance for the family members and special thanks to all those who have contributed their time and talents to the all-volunteer, not-for-profit project.  She will recognize the 16 active members of the Task Force from Cortlandt, Croton and Buchanan who have been dedicated in their efforts during the past two years;  the construction team of seven companies who offered their vigorous work at the site as “in-kind” donations during the past two months;  a support team of seven local businesses and first responders;  and the Supervisor, Mayors and staff from the Town of Cortlandt, and Villages of Croton & Buchanan.

The unique Memorial is entitled  Reaching Through The Shadow.  A detailed description and rendering art will be forwarded upon request in advance or available on Sept. 11th.
