WTC design plans revealed spark mixed reactions
New York unveiled six World Trade Center redevelopment plans on Tuesday drawing praise for memorials and transportation hubs while critics urge bolder ideas. Proposals replace lost office and retail space with a memorial of four to ten acres and a 600,000 square foot hotel, with footprints preserved by some plans and a tallest proposed height of 85 stories. Public input will shape final choices due in December, and plans emphasize a unified memorial over extensive new towers.
