WTC steel structures on LI

August 24, 2011 11:42 AM

Perhaps not surprisingly, more WTC steel is headed to LI than any other region in the world. Of 1,218 organizations awarded at least once piece of steel by the Port Authority, 39 are in Suffolk County and 37 in Nassau County. They are in locations ranging from fire departments to school districts to civic groups. Per county, these are the two highest totals -- more than New York City, more than any one county in New Jersey and far more than other states. The emotion attached to these hunks of steel grows as we approach the 10-year anniversary.
