 "Join me in the commitment to create a community in Lower Manhattan that will be unrivaled anywhere in the world. Together, we can accomplish this by drawing from the story of Lower Manhattan's birth, from the same civic vision that inspired Hamilton, Jefferson and Madison.
New York was born on the tip of this island out of a spirit of ambition, creativity, and perseverance, and so too will Lower Manhattan be reborn. This is the mission of the LMDC and of this administration. I look forward to working together with our partners in the public and private sectors to achieve it. - Avi Shick, LMDC Chairman  WTC Ship Remnant
On July 13, 2010 while workers were excavating the southern portion of the WTC site, on-site archaeologists uncovered what they believe to be the remnant of an 18th century merchant sailing ship.

  Lower Manhattan occupies a unique place in our history. It's where: Washington gave his first inaugural address. The U.S. Congress first met. Alexander Hamilton founded the Bank of New York, the nation's first bank. Hamilton, Jefferson and Madison worked and lived. |
