STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR ANDREW M. CUOMO ON ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER BECOMING NEW YORK CITY’S TALLEST SKYSCRAPER

“Today marks a milestone for One World Trade Center as the building becomes

New York City’s tallest skyscraper, reclaiming its place in the skyline and

showing to the world the resilience of the people of our state and nation.

With today’s achievement, we pause to recall the heinous acts of terrorism

that brought down the twin towers and claimed the lives of thousands of

Americans, and we also honor the extraordinary courage of our first

responders. The new World Trade Center is more than just a skyscraper: it is

a symbol of the enduring spirit of the City and State of New York,

representing our commitment to rebuilding stronger than before. One World

Trade Center will be the hub of new economic growth in Lower Manhattan and

for the entire metropolitan region, attracting major businesses from across

the globe and providing a workplace for thousands of New Yorkers. I thank

the many contractors, iron workers and laborers for their hard work, without

which this milestone would not have been possible.”
