Middletown Pays Tribute to
9/11 Victims
Members of the Middletown Township Committee
will pay a silent tribute to the 37 residents who died in the World Trade
Center tragedy with a wreath-laying at the Middletown WTC Memorial Gardens on Tuesday, September 11th at 8:46 am. The time marks the start of the terrorist attacks 11 years ago
when the first plane hit the towers.
Visitors are welcome at the Memorial Gardens from dawn to dusk. An
American flag flown over the World Trade Center in 2011 on the 10th
anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks will fly at the Memorial Gardens this
year. The flag was presented to Mayor Anthony P. Fiore by Governor Chris
Christie.
The Memorial Gardens rest under a canopy of
trees and features a landscaped path with benches and a personalized memorial
for each of the 37 residents. The gardens are located next to the Middletown
Arts Center at 36 Church Street. The gardens are open to the public daily.
“It is important that Middletown and our great
nation take a moment to remember the World Trade Center Tragedy and pay tribute
to the friends and family we lost 11 years ago. It is critical that we seize
this moment to stand tall and reaffirm that we, as proud Americans, remain
vigilant in the war against terror,” said Mayor Anthony P. Fiore.
Flag banners have been installed as a
tribute to the September 11th victims. The flag banners are hanging on
telephone poles along Kings Highway, Church Street and Middletown-Lincroft
Road. The banners are sponsored by local
businesses, organizations and individuals. The flag banner display, spearheaded
by Mayor Fiore, became part of the township’s annual 9/11 commemoration in
2011.
In addition, a cablecast of Middletown’s
memorial service held in 2011 on the 10th anniversary of the World
Trade Center Tragedy is airing on the township’s cable channel through
September 11, 2012. Residents can view the channel on Comcast Channel 20
and Verizon Fios Channel 26. Visit www.middletownnj.org/tv

Co-Gen Plant To Generate
Cost Savings For Sewerage Authority
The Township Middletown Sewerage Authority
(TOMSA) will be saving more than $230,000 on electric bills annually once its
new co-generation plant becomes operational next year.
TOMSA has received a $1.08 million grant from
the New Jersey Clean Energy Program toward construction of a co-generation
facility at the wastewater treatment plant. TOMSA, an award-winning authority,
will use the facility to capture and convert methane gas into electricity.
Methane gas, a by-product of the wastewater treatment process, is currently
flared off into the air, said TOMSA Executive Director Patrick W. Parkinson. Read More
