Landrieu wants World Trade Center demolished
Luckily, most of us know what this is actually referring to.
NEW ORLEANS -- The city of New Orleans signed a deal to buy out the lease of the World Trade Center, so what happens to that site next? Mayor Mitch Landrieu suggested Friday that tearing the building down and starting over might be the best option.
The 45-year-old structure at the foot of Canal Street is considered one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in the city. But it most recently made news when chunks of concrete from the building fell to the ground below.
And the Mayor is probably right. The WTC building has stood mostly underutilized for decades now despite numerous failed proposals to turn it into hotels or condos or hotel condos. Knocking it down and starting over is probably the best way to put that parcel back into use at this point.
