WTC: World’s best to decide options

Officials of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, which is overseeing the project, said its goal was for the six chosen teams of architects and planners to present their plans to the public at the end of the year.

The teams represent 27 architectural firms from 5 nations — the US, Britain, Germany, Japan and the Netherlands. No decisions on what to rebuild at the site are expected until next year, but the announcement moved the process a step closer towards its completion. (Reuters)
