The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has a problem. It cannot figure out how to build an unnecessary Path train station without delaying by years the building of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center. Within that problem, the Port Authority has another, as an editorial in today’s New York Daily News reveals:
The high-powered committee guiding the redevelopment of Ground Zero will decide Thursday whether to hold the Port Authority to its highest obligation: finishing the permanent 9/11 memorial by the 10th anniversary of the terror attack. And not a day later.
The panel will meet for one of the final times before the PA releases a revamped plan for finishing the project — with commitments on completion dates and price tags.
At the top of the agenda must be a rock-solid determination to meet the 9/11/11 deadline.
