Even after developer Larry Silverstein and the Port of Authority convince workers at state and federal agencies to occupy space they’ve agreed to rent in the Freedom Tower, Silverstein still has three other buildings to build and rent.
It will be a daunting task, despite the fact that one of these skyscrapers will be the headquarters of the Port Authority itself, owner of the trade center.
Workers made it clear yesterday that returning to work in any building going up at the Ground Zero site. This isn’t just the talk of a few scared individuals. The president of the Public Employees Federation, ken Bryniem, says he is getting calls from workers who tell him they don’t ever want to return to Ground Zero for any reason. The buildings were attacked twice, one in 1993 and the last time in 2001. Eighty four PA employees died in 2001. Thirty one members of the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance were killed when the south tower fell.
