Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo
"As New Yorkers and
Americans gather on the anniversary of the tragic terrorist attacks, we pause
once again to remember those we lost and the enormous sacrifice of the brave
heroes who rushed into the gravest of dangers. Over the last few years, we have
made extraordinary progress at Ground Zero and today's agreement is yet another
milestone in our work to finally complete the site as a place where people from
around the world can come to work, visit and remember. By ensuring that no
additional public funds are spent to complete the Memorial and Museum, today's
agreement puts in place a critical and long overdue safeguard to finally
protect toll payers and taxpayers from bearing further costs, and, at the same
time, put the project on a path for completion. I commend Governor Christie,
Mayor Bloomberg, and the leadership of the Port Authority and the September 11
Memorial & Museum for their work on today's agreement."
