New York braces for Freedom Tower construction chaos
April 30, 2006 at 1:13 pm | In development, freedom-tower, new york | Leave a CommentLike a long-awaited arrival of the cavalry, cranes and trucks finally showed up at ground zero last week.

Private developers and government agencies are preparing to pour more than $20 billion into new office and apartment buildings. But amid widespread enthusiasm that rebuilding is finally on track, nearly five years after the September 11, 2001, attacks, there is growing concern among those who live and work downtown about what the construction process will mean for them.
