(9) Reconstruction: Plans for the World Trade Center rebuilding started in July 2002 which was headed by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. There was many proposals on how to build the World Trade Center back however many lacked creativity. Several architects were chosen throughout this construction process all of them ran into many problems with the design. Then there was a financial crisis in 2008 which forced the construction process over to the Port Authority. The Port Authority construction is not going as smoothly as planned. However, the construction of the buildings is currently active round the clock with only days off for bad weather. City officials are looking for better ways to lower the problems and delays. The World Trade Center completion of construction has been scheduled for 2016.
