Larry Silverstein, president of Silverstein Properties, which recently bought $ 3.2 billion rights lease on the World Trade Center, the Port Authority, involves the construction of a complex of four buildings and a memorial for the victims of the tragedy on the ground. And the mayors of election candidates have started their own opinions on what happens in the twin towers. Some say something bigger and better monitor, to show the city is Unbowed by terrorists.

It will take some time to sort, especially with Silverstein, the city government and insurance companies who already have financial difficulties. Some fear that Gerangel on insurance claims, financing and reconstruction of rights could be a long legal battle. But it is possible to describe the track, as reconstruction efforts could go.
