"It is my hope that this memorial will help people to grieve and to make certain that the events of September 11th are always foremost in our thoughts." Thomas R. Suozzi, County Executive

A memorial is scheduled to be built at Eisenhower Park, which will honor the victims and heroes of the World Trade Center tragedy on September 11th.

Selected design for Nassau County's Memorial by Keith Striga and Phil Gavosto.

Towards that end, Nassau County, through the efforts of the Nassau County 9/11 Memorial Foundation is currently fundraising for construction of the memorial.The vision is to bring together the memories of the women and men of Nassau County who died on Sept. 11, 2001. The monument is estimated to cost up to $750,000 and will feature two semitransparent aluminum towers, representing the World Trade Center towers, rising 30 feet from a reflecting pool. It will also contain a wall with the names of 281 victims who lived in or had ties to Nassau, and two pieces of steel from the trade center's wreckage.

The goal is to finish by September 11, 2004.

The final design chosen, was designed by Keith Striga of Valley Stream and Phil Gavosto of Glen Cove.
