JERSEY CITY, N.J. The New York Times reports in its Sunday editions that little
work has been done on the 1.6-acre site at Liberty State Park. The
proposed design includes two steel walls in line with where the
World Trade Center towers stood and engraved with the names of the
744 New Jersey residents that died in the attacks.
A pending legal dispute, an estimated price that has increased
from $15 million to $22 million, and challenges in raising funds
have stalled the memorial.
The state of New Jersey and the Port Authority have contributed
$13 million to the project.
Former Gov. James McGreevey broke ground on the site in Sept.
2004.
