The "Tribute in Light" 9/11 memorial will happen after all. “NYS will provide health personnel & supervision so that @Sept11Memorial can mount the Tribute in Light safely,” Cuomo announced on Twitter. NEW YORK CITY'S ANNUAL 9/11 LIGHT TRIBUTE CANCELED OVER CORONAVIRUS"Throughout my tenure as Mayor the Tribute in Light was a powerful symbol of New York’s recovery after 9/11. I am pleased that once again it will shine this year as a beacon of our city’s resilience," Bloomberg, who chairs the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, said in a statement. The decision to cancel the "Tribute in Light" memorial came after the museum also scrapped the in-person reading of 9/11 victims' names at the annual Ground Zero ceremony.
