Freedom Tower work begins - Apr 27, 2006

CNN.com - Apr 27, 2006: "Trucks are rolling onto the World Trade Center site Thursday morning as workers gather to start long-delayed construction at 9/11's Ground Zero.
The intention is to build the tallest building in North America to fill the hole in the New York skyline left by the 2001 terrorist attacks.
The move follows an agreement on Wednesday between the owner of the 16-acre site and the real estate developer who leased it six weeks before the towers were destroyed.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the transportation agency that built the 110-story twin towers in the early 1970s and ran them until July 2001, approved the deal with developer Larry Silverstein in a board meeting Wednesday afternoon.
The deal settles financing for the 'Freedom Tower,' the planned 1,776-foot building to be erected on the northern end of the site."
