Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver singled out the Port Authority for dragging out the World Trade Center redevelopment talks with developer Larry Silverstein. “We are disappointed that we have yet to reach agreement to address the latest impasse at the World Trade Center site,” a joint release from Bloomberg and Silver said. According to the Daily News, sources said Bloomberg and Silver are pushing the Port Authority to guarantee more financing for Silverstein. The developer wants financing for two skyscrapers, but the Port Authority only wants to back one tower. Without an agreement, officials on both sides fear that Silverstein could delay integral components of the site, including the main access roadway and transportation hub. [NYO] and [Post] and [NYDN]
