Howard Industries Creates Signage for Local 9/11 Memorial

1114

On September 11, 2014, a public Honor and Remembrance Ceremony was held at the Blasco Memorial Library in downtown Erie, Pennsylvania, at which an unveiling and dedication of the Erie 9/11 Memorial took place. Displaying at its center, an 18-foot-high World Trade Center steel column recovered from Ground Zero, the Memorial tells the tale of events that took place on that tragic day.

After being approached by Mark Aleksandrowicz, chairman of the Erie 9/11 Memorial Committee, Howard Industries in Fairview Township, proudly became involved in the project and was brought on as the Memorial’s signage manufacturer.

According to Bill Freeman, vice president of Architectural Sales at Howard, “the committee wanted to get everything (for the project) from local vendors.”

Howard Industries created the “living history book” that surrounds the steel column with the combination of their talented illustration, signage fabrication, and vinyl graphics production staff members, as well as their aluminum, extruded architectural signage systems.
