Speaker Quinn:
\n\u201cLiz Berger was a visionary who helped reshape and revitalize Lower Manhattan. Liz\u2019s devotion to the City she loved shined through each and every day in her work as President of the Downtown Alliance, where she championed a vision of New York as a thriving, forward looking city in the 21st Century. Liz was a passionate, fierce fighter for New York and her legacy: a stronger, more innovative downtown will live on and inspire the rest of the world. My thoughts and prayers are with Liz\u2019s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Council Member Chin:
\n“Liz Berger represented the best of Lower Manhattan–resilient, tenacious, passionate for our city, she was tireless in her work to bring innovation and improvements downtown. From rebuilding after 9\/11 to recovering in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, to recognizing Lower Manhattan’s potential as a global hub for cultural and economic vibrancy, her legacy is a testament to her indomitable spirit. Liz was a leader, a partner, and a friend, and she will be greatly missed.”<\/p>\n
