Portal to include Harding memo, DEP boxes and 7 World Trade Center records, official says
Summary
The official said the new City Hall portal will publish documents including the Harding memo, 68 DEP boxes discovered in prior years, and material about 7 World Trade Center, which officials say show when the city knew about toxic air and asbestos findings.
The official said the portal will contain specific records sought by survivors and advocates — including what the speaker called the Harding memo, the 68 DEP boxes found a few years ago, and documents related to 7 World Trade Center — that together will shed light on what the city knew and when.
"They contain details about DPS response. They show how asbestos was found nearly everywhere that inspectors tested. And they will help New Yorkers access the health care they need," the official said.
City Hall described the first public release as 170,000 pages and said additional materials will be published over the next 12 months. Officials framed the release as both an accountability measure and a resource for survivors seeking documentation to support health care or compensation claims.
