Port Authority to Build Sept 11 Memorial Amid Cost Review
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will take over construction of the Sept 11 memorial following cost-cutting recommendations. The boards of the Port Authority and the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation approved the shift, with a price cap at 510 million dollars and a revised Reflecting Absence design. Construction began in March and paused after May estimates suggested near one billion dollars, with the authority reserving the right to back out if costs rise.
