The Twin Towers "lent the lower Manhattan skyline a two-thumbs-up optimism no single structure can replicate." — Steve Cuozzo | New York Post IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO DO THE RIGHT THING — AND DO THE THING RIGHT We don't think it is too late to make the World Trade Center all that it could and should be. Until now, it actually may have been too soon. After taking years to carefully consider the many components of this complex and sensitive issue, we believe the time has finally come to share a comprehensive and manifestly feasible proposal. The likelihood of a Phase Two for the WTC is not the first question we hope people will ask as they read our proposal. Whether we can still build a World Trade Center that would take our nation far beyond what the current WTC can offer is what matters. We hope that readers will suspend disbelief until the presentation is complete. The purpose of this proposal is to credibly demonstrate that it is really not too late to build a World Trade Center worthy of the name. If we don’t finally put the incomparable magic of the Twin Towers back into the skyline, it will not be because it was too late, but because we weren’t up to the task. The only real obstacle is political and, one way or the other, we will get the World Trade Center we deserve. We think most people would agree that if there is a plan to vastly improve this iconic property why wouldn’t it be examined before insisting on what should be or shouldn’t be done? We are not criticizing the current WTC – just the dishonest process that produced it. We appreciate the steadfast devotion that went into making the site we see today. But if it could be even greater tomorrow, why would anyone stand in the way? The call to "dream no small dreams" built the World Trade Center and its builders faced enormous obstacles and overcame tremendous odds. The Twin Towers were a blend of the practical and the sublime. They epitomized both worldly and spiritual striving and achievement. Diminished expectations have no place at Ground Zero, where we witnessed on September 11th how superhuman mere mortals can be. Proposal Overview >>> A SHORT HISTORY OF THE SWINDLE AT GROUND ZERO We believe it is important to explain why we refer to the redevelopment of the WTC as "The Swindle At Ground Zero" and why it matters to our future that people understand what really took place. Using the term "swindle" to describe the rebuilding process is not hyperbole. The Merriam-Webster definition of the word is "to obtain money or property by fraud or deceit." That is an accurate description of what took place. There is a great deal of evidence in print through the years that substantiates that claim. Our objection is to the process – not the results. The purpose of this site is not to tarnish what has become synonymous with our loss and our remembrance. The purpose of this site is to look with "fresh eyes" on what took place and on what could become an even greater tribute. More >>>
