Westchester County says it will hold its annual memorial for those who died September 11, 2001 at a short ceremony Saturday September 11 at the County's memorial, The Rising.

The ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. at the memorial which is located at Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla.

County Executive Rob Astorino will be joined by family members of persons killed as well as several members of the Westchester County Board of Legislators and U.S. Congresswoman Nita Lowey to honor  the 111 Westchester residents who perished  in the terrorists attacks.

With Westchester facing a 130 million dollar budget deficit in the next fiscal year, County Executive Rob Astorino is proposing consolidating the County's Public Safety and Emergency Services Departments, a move he says will save Westchester $3 million over the next three years.

Astorino has asked the County attorney to prepare legislation to be submitted to the Board of Legislators to implement the plan. If approved, the resulting merger would be put into place on  January 1, the start of the new budget year.
