STATEMENT OF MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON AGREEMENT TO REBUILD ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH

“The destruction of St. Nicholas Church added to the tragedy of September 11th and was a terrible loss for the Lower Manhattan and Greek Orthodox communities. Over the past ten years, we have made great progress rebuilding the World Trade Center, but it is an extraordinarily complex site, and rebuilding the church has proved a challenge. In 2009, Archbishop Demetrios sought my help in convening the Port Authority and State leadership to work on a solution, and I was glad to be of assistance. Now, thanks to cooperation between all parties, a plan has been put in place that will give the community a new sanctuary and place for healing.”
