Essential Workers Monument
The Essential Workers Monument is a planned memorial commemorating key workers for their work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
History[edit]
In June 2021, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the memorial would be located in Battery Park City.[1] The monument's location faced opposition due to the process and location[2] and will be installed in a different location.[3]
In July 2021, the Battery Park Conservancy Essential Workers Monument Advisory Committee was formed to help identify a new location. It comprises seventeen people representing various neighborhood constituencies as well as state officials and essential workers.[4]
