HBP, a long standing partner with the Memoria Project non-profit organization worked with Borough Officials and many private partners to finally complete the Memoria Project in honor of the 10th Anniversary of 911. The Memoria Project was a decade in the making, by artist, Steve Shaheen.  The Memoria Project consists of 13-foot marble sculptures, a man and woman, surrounded by granite blocks engraved with all 2,987 names of those who lost their lives in the 911 tragedy. The project was completely funded with donations from around the world. The Memoria Project secured at least $150,000 in donations and goods for the installation of the Memoria Project. HBP secured at least $125,000.00 of bartered goods services for the Veterans Park improvements.  Combined, in excess of $250,000 of goods and services were implemented to complete this project.  A special ceremony was organized by Steve Shaeen, HBP and members of the Memoria Project to dedicate the Memoria to the Borough of Highlands on October 23, 2011.  There was a $5,000.00 sign donated by Sign-A-Lize that recognizes all of the public private partners that donated in some way. The site is meant to serve as a place of reflection for visitors and residents.
