STONE HARBOR BREAKS GROUND ON FREEDOM PARK

Stone Harbor Mayor Suzanne Walters and members of Borough Council officially broke ground on the new Stone Harbor Freedom Park that will be located between 96th Street and Seng Place. The new park will provide a passive recreation area in the downtown district and include an artifact recovered from the World Trade Center site in New York City following the September 11th, 2001 attack on the United States. The new Stone Harbor Freedom Park will include a small section of I-beam secured from the Port Authority of New York/New Jersey. The artifact came from the site of the World Trade Center, and was one of the final artifacts to be released by the Authority to a local community for an everlasting tribute.
