Some one is calling for an old fashion gubernatorial intervention.
New York Post columnist Steve Cuozzo says Gov. Spitzer should liberate us all from the chaos surrounding the construction of the Freedom Tower. The world isn’t yet convinced that the buildings going up at Ground Zero are places of business.
Cuozzo says “Spitzer needn’t outright kill the “iconic” edifice that’s now the PA’s to build and rent. He doesn’t even have to meddle directly in its design (as his predecessor did, with disastrous results).
But the Freedom Tower needs a caring intervention - which means putting it on hold. Not forever.”
Cuozzo says Spitzer needs to halt things until two office buildings going up at Ground Zero are leased first. These buildings will add new zest to the project and send a signal to the world that Ground Zero is more than the site of a world class disaster. It will tell the world to come back to a place where they can again do business – World Trade class business.

This falls under the adage, “First things first.” However, the concrete has been poured, and the signed beams have been delivered. I’m sure the new governor can move forward with common sense and still provide the intervention needed to ensure that all energies spent with this project will beget a world class trade business.
