NEW YORK (AP) — The head of the agency that owns the World Trade Center site said Thursday that the Sept. 11 memorial will open on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that brought down the twin towers and will remain open.
But that doesn’t mean the memorial will be completed by then.
Executive Director Chris Ward told an Assembly committee that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is still determining exactly how much public access will be allowed while the construction continues.
He said reflecting pools over the twin towers’ footprints and walls with the victims’ names engraved on them will be built by Sept. 11, 2011.
