An accord has been reached between insurers of the Twin Towers and Ground Zero developer Larry Silverstein.
Silverstein oversees reconstruction of the 16-acre property but insurers have held up payments after 9/11 for nearly six years in a dispute over what the settlement figure should be.
New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer says Silverstein agreed to drop a lawsuit against the insurers in return for payments of about $2 billion so he can proceed with the reconstruction. This agreement, according to the Times of London, removes the last major stumbling block holding back reconstruction.

Now, a positive movement will begin, affecting many lives involved with this endeavor. As Maya Angelou states, “Living a life is like constructing a building: if you start wrong, you’ll end wrong.”
Let’s hope that the act of building will be an inspiration to those individuals who partake of its construction. Perhaps, there will even be a change for the better with some lives.
