Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs Commissioner Guillermo Linares, Parks & Recreation Borough Commissioner William Castro, and Lower Manhattan Development Corporation President Stefan Pryor today flipped the ceremonial switch on the new Spiral Fountain and unveiled the restored Immigrants statue, marking the completion of the full renovation of the Battery Bosque. Simultaneously, Battery Conservancy President Warrie Price and Center for Castle Garden Director Ira Glazier launched CastleGarden.org, a database of the records of more than 10 million immigrants who arrived in the United States between 1820-1897, which will be made free to the public.
