Safety Harbor city officials are asking the public for help raising funds for a 9/11 memorial.
For the past year, city officials have been planning, designing and soliciting donations for a memorial that will incorporate a piece of steel from the World Trade Center.
The memorial will be located on Main Street between City Hall and the Fire Station.
The total cost of the project is about $55,000, and the city is about $10,000 short of reaching its goal. The city is asking for private donations to help achieve the goal of completing the project by Sept. 11, 2014.
To donate, mail a check to City of Safety Harbor Attn: Fire Department, 750 Main Street, Safety Harbor, FL 34695. Checks should be made payable to City of Safety Harbor with 9/11 Memorial noted on the memo line.
