Freedom Tree 9/11 Memorial at Garvin Park
Summary
A community group will build a 9/11 memorial at Garvin Park's Freedom Tree for the 25th anniversary — a plaque telling the tree's story plus signs naming all 2,977 victims, with residents invited to 'adopt' a victim's name. No cost to the parks department, but ongoing upkeep falls to the city.

Impact analysis
Free to taxpayers now — the group is funding it — but the parks department takes on long-term maintenance.
The whole community gets a permanent, personal 9/11 memorial and anniversary ceremony at Garvin Park.
