Port Authority Issues Downtown RFP

NEW YORK CITY-The PA puts out a call for design guidelines for Lower Manhattan while officially taking the reins of the Lower Manhattan Development Corp., the organization originally formed to oversee the Downtown redevelopment process.

NEW YORK CITY-A request for proposals seeking an urban design and transportation study for Lower Manhattan and the World Trade Center site has been issued by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey.

In revealing the RFP, Governor George Pataki and Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the PA and the Lower Manhattan Development Corp.–the city/state partnership initially charged with overseeing downtown redevelopment–will enter into a Memorandum of Understanding, formalizing what apparently will be a subsidiary role for LMDC in a PA-controlled development of Downtown. The PA’s board of directors was scheduled to meet late yesterday afternoon to discuss the new balance of power and the RFP, which was issued in conjunction with LMDC.

“The issuing of this RFP, a significant step in the process of redeveloping Lower Manhattan, illustrates the close, collaborative relationship between the Port Authority and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation,” says Port Authority Executive Director Joseph J. Seymour. “The RFP is in keeping with the directive from Governor Pataki and Mayor Bloomberg that the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. bring together the resources of all stakeholders to identify appropriate redevelopment options for the World Trade Center site.”
