On August 6, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the New York State Hurricane Maria Memorial Commission has begun its search for the architects and artists who will design and execute a Hurricane Maria memorial honoring the victims and survivors of Hurricane Maria and the resilience of the Puerto Rican community. Governor Cuomo announced this monument and established this commission on the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria's landfall in September 2017.
"Hurricane Maria claimed thousands of lives and destroyed countless homes in Puerto Rico, yet the resilience of the Puerto Rican community has shown the world anything can be overcome when we all stand together in solidarity," Governor Cuomo said. "We want this spirit of strength and community to be reflected in the Hurricane Maria Memorial, and we look forward to seeing how the experts capture it in their designs."
