'New York Remembers' exhibit opening ceremony tomorrow
NORWICH – Hurricane Irene had an unfortunate effect on the grand opening of the “New York Remembers” exhibit which spans over 30 locations across New York State.
Due to the damaging winds and flooding caused by the hurricane which ravaged the east coast last week, the governor’s office announced that the exhibit will not have its official opening until Friday. The Norwich exhibit will be holding the ceremony at 3:30 p.m. on Friday at the Chenango County Council of the Arts located on West Main Street.
According to Kevin McCabe, regional representative for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the state government was forced to shift focus from the opening of the exhibit to disaster relief across the state. The clean-up needed in the wake of the hurricane is on-going and the governor’s office is still focused on relief, said McCabe, but schedules have been shifted to allow for the openings to occur before the tenth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
McCabe said the governor’s office will be sending commissioners to each of the sites. Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles Barbara Fiala will be in Norwich at the opening and will speak to the crowd about the importance of the exhibit. Local officials will also be contacted and will hopefully attend as well, said McCabe.
“Hurricane Irene has forced us to change plans more than once and has certainly put a wrench in organizing the opening ceremony,” said CCCA Executive Director Victoria Kappel. “However, we’re proud to announce the opening of the exhibit and we’re very excited to be able to provide this important display for the people of Chenango County.”
The opening will be open to the public, at which time extended hours will be announced for the gallery. City of Norwich Police and Fire department members have volunteered their time to allow for the extended time, however, Kappel said more volunteers are always welcome.
“We want to give as many people as possible a chance to view this incredible exhibition,” she said.
