The Port Authority says excavation work has been completed at the 1.4-acre Tower 4 site at the World Trade Center, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. This news clears the way for construction of an office tower designed by architect Fumihiko Maki. The agency also is continuing to excavate the basement area for the neighboring Tower 3 and expects to finish that job by mid-February.
The projects involve the removal of nearly 300,000 tons of concrete, soil and rock in 12 months, and the excavation of new foundations 80 feet below street level.

As escavations continue, hopefully, revelation of the remains of the final 1,000 will occur. No matter how many designers, architects, construction workers appear on the scene, the spirits of these innocent victims remain.
Perhaps, that is the key utterance here: remain. When we die, our truth remains. The reconstruction business must breathe life into this area, yet remain consistent with the truth of this site.
