The Port Authority is soliciting proposals from public and municipal agencies and not-for-profit organizations interested in acquiring a piece of 9/11 World Trade Center steel for public display.

Letters requesting a piece of steel should be sent on official letterhead to the Port Authority to the attention of Christopher O. Ward, Executive Director with a copy to Timothy Stickelman, Esq. of the Port Authority Law Department and Norma Manigan in Public Affairs. The mailing address for all three is:

225 Park Avenue South

New York, NY 10003.

You can email the request to Norma Manigan at nmanigan@panynj.gov.

The letter should describe your organization or agency, specify the type of artifact you are requesting, how the artifact will be used, an architectural description of the place where it would be displayed (e.g. metal case with glass panel), and other pertinent information and photos, designs or sketches of the proposed display. Our distribution is limited to public and municipal agencies and not-for-profit organizations.
Once your request is received and approved, you will be contacted by Peter Miller who will work with you to decide on the appropriate material for your display and will determine the logistics of transportation for the artifact. You will be solely responsible for all logistical details associated with picking up your artifact, including bringing the proper equipment, securing any necessary permits to transport the artifact and providing proof of insurance, indemnifying the Port Authority during removal and transportation.
