LMDC Chairman John C. Whitehead said, "This is an important update by the Governor and the Mayor since it illustrates the significant progress being made in the recovery operations and the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan. It also underscores how the teamwork by the many major organizations involved is paying off in impressive results."

Port Authority Chairman Jack G. Sinagra said, "The public will play a key role in shaping the future of Lower Manhattan. With their input, we will develop a world-class plan that will serve as a model for redevelopment throughout the nation. We also want to ensure that whatever is developed at the site is done in a respectful way that meets the needs of all residents in the New York and New Jersey region."
