When COVID-19 pandemic restrictions began in 2020, many people could work from home. But those who helped maintain essential services couldn't.
Now, Babylon Village officials are planning to recognize those essential workers with a “Heroes Fountain.”
The tribute will be off Montauk Highway near Hawley’s Pond and feature a nurse statue from California-based sculptor Jose Fernandez.
