NEW YORK CITY-Governor George Pataki, Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Mayor-elect Michael Bloomberg held a press conference to announce 11 appointments to the recently created Lower Manhattan Redevelopment Corp. To be chaired by Pataki-appointee John Whitehead, former chairman of Goldman Sachs & Co., the board has two more members than additionally planned, seven of which were named by Pataki, four by Giuliani.

Charged with overseeing the redevelopment of Downtown following the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attacks, the agency–part of the Empire State Development Corp.–will have powers similar to those granted the similar agency that assisted with the revitalization of Times Square.

Pataki appointees in addition to Whitehead include: Frank Zarb–The former chairman and CEO of Nasdaq–Roland Betts–Chairman and lead owner of Chelsea Piers, Lewis Eisenberg–Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Ed Malloy–President of the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater NewYork–Deborah Wright–resident and CEO of Carver Federal Savings Bank–Madelyn Wils–Chairperson of Community Board No. 1, which serves the lower Manhattan area.
