Irene Helps Ground Zero

Hard work and luck have paid off at ground zero yet again.

In a way, the site is in better shape for its grand opening in exactly two weeks than it would have been had their been no hurricane. “The plaza looks great,” Mr. Daniels said. “All the preparations we did in preparing for the storm actually helped prepare us for the opening, like removing excess equipment and temporary fencing that had been surrounding the pools.”

The memorial, and the city, had gotten lucky. With two weeks left, it could have been a lot worse. With the preparation the construction teams did, everyone is real happy with how things look. Its actually in great shape.

The anniversery and multitude of commerative events are just a couple of weeks away and despite Irene spending the weekend with us, all is looking good.
