LMDC looks to make ground zero green

The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation has been looking
at ways to make the buildings on the World Trade Center site
greener. Each office tower plans to meet the standards needed to qualify for a LEED Gold
rating, but the LMDC also hopes to make the 16-acre site sustainable by maximizing
the amount of sunlight that hits the open spaces and filtering the sunlight below
ground through vents. The LMDC presented the sustainability ideas to the WTC
Redevelopment Committee of Community Board 1 Monday night.
