Governor Hochul Unveils a Workers Memorial at the New York State Fair!
Governor Hochul: “I want to make sure that when people talk about these essential workers, they talk about the people who also showed up on the roads, who kept showing up to a work site during a pandemic…They kept building back New York during a pandemic, and to all the workers, I want all of us to give them a rousing round of applause because they got it done. They got it done and we’ll never forget the sacrifice and what they did.”
