The annual update on the progress of rebuilding the World Trade Center in New York City was given today as over 200 international reporters listened on to the reports from Gov. David Paterson, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and developer Larry Silverstein of Silverstein Properties. "Though we have had delays," Paterson said, "and unfortunately we have had conflicts of opinion, we are on the road, we believe, to a very great success." One World Trade, formerly known as the Freedom Tower, and Four World Trade have structural steel rising above ground level, with One World Trade already at its 36th floor, and over a dozen trees have been planted in the memorial park.
CNN.com offers a brief overview of the future plans from Brookfield Properties which includes a virtual tour of the new facilities, touting 5 new skyscrapers, one of which will become the tallest building in the United States. The New York Times has also posted a gallery of 20 images with photographs from Fred R. Conrad that provide an intimate view of construction at the site of the World Trade Center. Four of the towers are expected to be completed by 2014.
