The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the site, is expected to discuss the matter on Thursday and may pause the construction process to accommodate Merrill’s design needs, the report said.
The Authority, to allow for design changes, may give developer Larry Silverstein a six-month extension to complete the tower Merrill is considering moving into, the Journal said. The tower is currently scheduled to be completed by 2013.

Considering that we’re in the year 2008, five more years added to 2001 brings us to a 12 year recovery time from the original horrific event that brought down the WTC towers. I wonder; will Merrill Lynch & Co still be around in 2013? Since they’re making big plans with the economy in its present state, perhaps we should take a look at the future’s market.
Meanwhile, I sincerely hope that the intentions of those with the center’s construction and negotiation with future tenants will be to maintain an atmosphere of congeniality and enlightenment.
