So the World Trade Center redevelopment may finally get moving again with the runner-up developers after the original bid winner unceremoniously skipped town. That's good news, I guess.
I got a chuckle out of the setup for a quote from Arnie Fielkow made in regard for the need to hurry completion of the project:
City Councilman Arnie Fielkow said if the project did not move forward in a timely fashion it would become a "black eye" for the city.
The next sentence in the article:
The project has been delayed for about 10 years and dates to former Mayor Marc Morial.
I'd say we've been getting battered for quite some time. I don't know if another delay could further bruise us. Since I've lived in New Orleans I have only known the WTC as an abandoned building.
