Rancho Cucamonga will receive $3.2 million in state funding to help build a 9/11 memorial park.
The money will come from AB 102, which is included in the state’s current fiscal budget, according to a statement released by the city.
This legislation includes more than $10 million in local funding arranged by Assembly Majority Leader Emeritus Eloise Gómez Reyes, D-San Bernardino.
The park will be built next to Fire Station 178, which is near Town Center Drive and Terra Vista Parkway. It will be built on the south end of the 1.3-acre site and will consist of three artifacts: steel from the World Trade Center, material from Flight 93, and material from the Pentagon.
The park will include a pair of monuments that commemorate the city’s Gold Star Service Members who have died since the 9/11 attacks. An eternal flame, three flagpoles, and several gardens and gathering spaces will also be part of the park, according to the statement.
The park’s opening date was not disclosed.
