"I hope the spirit this tree carries with it, the spirit of giving and generosity and love, will continue for many years to come," said Opsahl.
The city will start a new tradition this year with a digital tree.
City officials said the new tree will fill the southern half of Central Park with festive holiday music and dancing lights, offering a new glow for all to enjoy during the holiday nights.
