Elmhurst Plans 9/11 Memorial At Fire Station

ELMHURST, IL – Elmhurst firefighters plan a public sculpture to remember the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

A piece of rail from the twin towers has been given to the city, according to an Elmhurst news release.

Local sculptor Jason Peot will create a vibrant and multi-faceted memorial near fire station No. 2 at 605 S. York St., the release said.

To complete the project, firefighters need to raise about $150,000, the city said. They plan to seek support for the effort over the next several months.

It is hoped the memorial can be created and installed by Sept. 11, 2024.

Donations can be made online or at City Hall.
