 Elyria Township 9/11Memorial
Jan. 2, 2012 Township Meeting
Rob Scheithauer, Elyria Township Trustee,
would like to share pictures of last nights township
meeting presentation.
Elyria Township will be planning a 9/11 Memorial after they received a
fragment of steel that once was part of a box beam from the World Trade
Center. The artifact measures approximately 18" x 18" x 3" and weights
just over 200 pounds.
Fire-fighter Tim Midkiff's first request
was denied in 2010. As the 10th Anniversary of the fateful day
apporached, Township Trustee Rick Hutman asked him to try again. This
request was accepted by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
with a deadline that it must be picked up by December 16th. A shipping
company from New Jersey delivered the artifact to the township on
December 19th.
The Memorial is being considered for either the front of the Township
Fire Station on Griswold Road or near the recently acquired Fire
Training Trailer, located on township property adjacent to the Rowland
Nature Center, 7475 Murray Ridge Road, Elyria, Ohio 44035. Anyone
interested in submitting a design proposal for the memorial should
deliver the sealed proposal by 4:00 pm on February 6, 2012 to the Elyria
Township Fire Station, 41416 Griswold Road, Elyria, Ohio 44035.
Elyria Township would like to thank
Trustee Rick Hutman and Fire Fighter Tim Midkiff for being persistent in
their endeavors in obtaining this artifact.
