The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has developed a plan to build around developer Larry Silverstein’s office tower sites at the World Trade Center, should the dispute over Silverstein’s financing remain unresolved. Under the Port Authority’s plan, changes would be needed at the PATH station, which is currently designed to have ventilation, exits and safety features built into Silverstein’s towers. Plans for the Vehicle Security Center, the Freedom Tower, the power plant and the bus parking garage would also need to be altered. These changes could cost hundreds of millions of dollars, sources familiar with the plan told the New York Observer. The changes could also incur legal challenges from Silverstein, who has already argued that design changes violate his lease.
