Inscription. Elizabeth H. Berger (1960-2013) was a community leader in Lower Manhattan whose passion for New York City and the neighborhood in which she made a home with her family animated a career in government, the arts and community service. As the President of the Alliance for Downtown New York, she played a critical role in articulating a vision of Lower Manhattan as a center of innovation and dynamism. "Liz" Berger helped lead the restoration of the neighborhood after the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and dedicated herself to creating a life for Lower Manhattan residents, workers, tourists and businesses that was enriched by adventurous culture, quality education, easy waterfront access and great public spaces. Her efforts to enrich and enliven the public sphere surround us today and will shape the experience of Lower Manhattan for generations to come.

Erected by Alliance for Downtown New York, Inc.; City of New York Parks & Recreation (NYC Parks).
