Timeline to Revitalize Lower Manhattan |
|
|
|
NEW YORK.- PATH Train Service to be Restored November 23; Memorial Proposals Expected to be Exhibited Week of November 17; Freedom Tower Design to be Revealed December 15; Quality of Life Improvements Unveiled.
Governor George E. Pataki today demonstrated bold leadership for the revitalization of Lower Manhattan by affirming the aggressive timeline he set forth in April is “right on track,” and even ahead of schedule, as he announced that the rebirth of the World Trade Center site will mark its most significant milestone on November 23, 2003, when the Port Authority restores PATH rail service linking Lower Manhattan to New Jersey – one month ahead of schedule.
Speaking at an Association for a Better New York/Downtown Lower Manhattan Association luncheon at the Ritz Carlton, Governor Pataki also announced that in keeping with his promise to ensure that a memorial befitting the heroes who died September 11th is the most important element of the rebuilding process, eight proposals for the memorial are expected to go on exhibition at the Winter Garden during the week of November 17th for the public to review, while the distinguished jury continues to deliberate.
“For all the grand plans we’ve made, for all the structures we will build, and for all the dreams we will realize, we can never forget those dreams that will never be realized,” Governor Pataki said.
Memorial Designs to be Exhibited - During the week of November 17th, eight proposed memorial designs are expected to be exhibited at the Winter Garden as the jury continues to deliberate.
John Whitehead, who has served as the chairman of the LMDC since its inception, has agreed to launch a new foundation that will fund and construct the memorial and museum once the design has been selected.
