In the News: Green Light for 3 World Trade Center

••• “Larry Silverstein sold $1.6 billion in tax-exempt Liberty Bonds on Tuesday, finally green-lighting full construction of 3 World Trade Center.” Completion in 2018. —New York Post

••• A Battery Park City chamber of commerce is being founded “to support small, Battery Park City-based businesses.” The first meeting is Thursday at Hudson Eats in Brookfield Place. —Broadsheet

••• Touring the old hotels on Schermerhorn Row. —Downtown Post NYC

••• Telepan Local is now selling its three-layer cakes to go. —New York Times

••• DNAinfo can’t believe that the One World Observatory will cost $32. But if you think they’re not planning on taking much more than that from you, you’re crazy. (Ever been to the Empire State Building? The selling is relentless.) And if the attraction proves popular, you can bet premium access will become available for a price. Mind you, I’m not saying I don’t think it’ll be worth $32….

••• “Responding to the cries of Peck Slip School parents concerned over the noisy learning conditions in rooms shared by two classes in Tweed Courthouse, Department of Education officials have replaced six-foot room dividers with heavier, sound absorbing 10-foot ones. And with 15-foot ceilings in the grand rooms, they say they might be able to build up still higher. But that hasn’t silenced the complaints of some parents.” —Tribeca Trib

  1. It cost nothing extra I recall to get to the Greatest Bar on Earth on the 107th floor of the old WTC. On any day that it was not covered in clouds you cloud go up for a drink and a view of our neighborhood.
