Members of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation say the board’s
full staff is probably no longer necessary, now that the board has
allocated most of the federal World Trade Center reconstruction funds
and overseen the development of a rebuilding plan. The group held
monthly meetings before former Governor Eliot Spitzer took charge of it
in 2007, but it has only held seven public meetings in the last 17
months. The board’s approximately 50 staff members are paid a total of
$4.2 million per year.
