WPCNR COUNTY CLARION-LEDGER. From Westchester County Department of Communications. September 11, 2003: Westchester County Executive Andy Spano will join representatives from the Rotary Club, Westchester Arts Council, the Town of Greenburgh and Project Liberty-Westchester at 12 noon to break ground on a memorial mural to victims of 9/11 at Webb Field in Greenburgh.

The memorial, composed of more than 2,000 hand-painted tiles created by county residents, was designed though the Westchester Arts Council and commissioned by Project Liberty-Westchester with funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Town of Greenburgh donated the site and the Rotary Club’s International District 7230 is funding construction of the wall.

At the event, Spano will make an announcement about Westchester’s own 9/11 monument, which will be built by Westchester County at Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla. Westchester has been working for more than a year with a committee of families members of 9/11 victims to design and build a memorial to the 111 Westchester residents who died in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

Spano will update residents on the latest developments in the construction of Westchester County’s memorial.

 Webb Field is located on Central Avenue in Hartsdale.

In White Plains, Grace Church will present a Memorial Service also at noon. This evening Mayor Joseph Delfino will participate in a Memorial Service at the Church in the Highlands at 7:30 PM.
