It’s official. Funds to finance construction of the Freedom Tower have been authorized by the Port Authority today.
The board of the PA voted today to pay $1 billion to fund construction of the World Trade Center redevelopment.. To move things along, the board will let $500 million in construction contracts and the remainder will be paid out later this year.
“I think what your seeing today is that the time for talk is past; the time for building has begun,” said Port Authority executive director Anthony Shorris. “These are $500 million of contracts the board contract authorized today. Between now and what we’ve already authorized and what we will in the next month or two, half of this project is already bid out and it’s moving ahead at as rapidly a pace as we can build it.”

Ah, the paralization has ended. Now, the will of those who oversee the construction of this creative endeavor can move forward, realizing fruition of their design.
No longer will the reflection of this city be as that of the moon. Instead, as Providence sustains these human aspirations in accordance with the principles of virtue, truth will provide the glorious illumination that necessitates wisdom’s reign.
