JERSEY CITY AND BEYOND — A spokesman for the New Jersey treasury department said last week that the “Empty Sky” 9/11 memorial being built at Liberty State Park in Jersey City should be ready for the 10th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks in September.
Bill Quinn is quoted on nj.com as saying “We’re working on a tight deadline, but it will be completed by the anniversary.”
The group Friends of Liberty State Park has criticized the memorial because it blocks views of the Manhattan skyline, but they were not able to get the state to move it.
The memorial will have all 746 names of New Jersey’s victims engraved in the steel interior.
