The Firemen’s Memorial in Riverside Park is being restored.

The faulty lighting at the Staten Island Postcards 9/11 Memorial now has funding for permanent repairs.

Temporary sources were used at this year’s anniversary ceremony, but a permanent solution will be built soon. The timeline will be announced shortly, reports Roger Guevara for the Staten Island Advance.
