The Port Authority is taking the “Freedom” out of the Freedom Tower.
Although the 1,776-foot tower hasn’t been fully built, funded or leased – and won’t be occupied until 2014 – the authority said it will not be called the Freedom Tower, but will simply be known as 1 World Trade Center.
“As we market the building, we will insure that it is presented in the best possible way – and 1 World Trade Center is the address that we’re using,” said Port Authority Chairman Anthony Coscia.
Are you serious? 3,000 people died on September 11, 2001 and the Port Authority considers the building being erected on the site nothing but a piece of real estate to be marketed? Where are the voices of NY Gov. David Paterson, Sen. Chuck Schumer and NYC Mayor Mike Bloomber to condemn this outrageous slap in the face to those who died?
For shame!
