911 Memorial Must Open by 9/11/11

Disputing a report that the project could not be finished on time, the head of the foundation that is building the September 11 memorial, told supporters on Tuesday that it is essential to open the memorial by the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Monday, it was announced that nearly every project under construction at the World Trade Center site is behind schedule and that the memorial would not be able to open by its target of September 11, 2011. On Tuesday, Chris Ward, said the public might have access to the cobblestone, tree covered memorial plaza by the attack's 10th anniversary, but construction would still need to continue after that. Everyone is hoping it will open sooner than predicted.
