NEW YORK CITY-A $700-million Downtown recovery program unveiled yesterday is expected to help 20,000 businesses impacted by the World Trade Center bombings get back on their feet as well as serve as an incentive for businesses seeking to relocate to Lower Manhattan.

Funding for the program has been appropriated by the US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development to the Empire State Development Corp. Governor George Pataki and Mayor Michael Bloomberg unveiled the plan yesterday at the opening of the new World Trade Center Business Recovery Center at 2 Rector St. A second center at 110 Maiden Lane also opened its doors yesterday.

“These new business assistance centers along with our new $700 million action plan will help us rebuild our city, revitalize our economy and bring new jobs and economic opportunities to Lower Manhattan,” Governor Pataki said. “Today, we are taking another step to make it easier and faster for local businesses to get the help they need and to attract new businesses to Lower Manhattan.”
