STATEMENT OF PORT AUTHORITY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PAT FOYE ON NEW HOME FOR KOENIG SPHERE

Date: May 12, 2012
Press Release Number: 67-2012

“Next week, the Port Authority will announce a new temporary home for the Koenig Sphere, the iconic bronze sculpture that miraculously survived the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. We have worked tirelessly to find a new, accessible public space for this important symbol of hope amid devastation. We believe this sculpture should continue to reside in a location where New Yorkers and people from around the region, nation and the world can view this important reminder of survival and resilience. Since my arrival at the Port Authority, I have been committed to finding both a temporary and permanent home in the public domain for this cherished and historic monument.”
