Sixteen years and five million visitors later, what is now the 9/11 Tribute Museum, is poised to close within weeks, its leaders say, barring a last-minute rescue from millions of dollars in debt and a plan to meet future needs. (AP Photo/Richard Drew) A plea for financial support is posted in the window of the 9/11 Tribute Museum, in New York, Monday, March 21, 2022.
Main Idea: The 9/11 Tribute Museum in New York may close within weeks unless it finds money to cover its debt and stay open.
Key Points:
The Tribute Museum could lose jobs and a low-cost 9/11 education site, reducing a community-run way for visitors and families to learn and remember.
A rescue or partnership could keep the museum open and preserve local tours and programs for schools and visitors.
