JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Mayor Steven M. Fulop invites the community to join him, City Council members, and public safety officials for a 9/11 memorial ceremony along the Jersey City waterfront on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, in remembrance of the lives lost during the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.
The ceremony will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the Jersey City 9/11 Memorial, located at the intersection of Grand Street and Hudson Street. The memorial features twisted steel beams from Ground Zero and serves as a tribute to those who lost their lives, including Jersey City residents whose names are etched on the memorial.
