Port Authority Is Sued Over Church Destroyed on 9/11
The New York Timesby The Associated Press
The Greek Orthodox church filed suit on Monday against the public agency that owned the World Trade Center over stalled plans to rebuild a church that was destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001.
The church said the agency, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, reneged on a 2008 deal to rebuild St. Nicholas Church at a new location down the block from its old site. It also said the Port Authority sent construction equipment onto its property without permission in connection with the new business and transportation complex at the World Trade Center site.
It filed the suit in federal court in Manhattan.
The Port Authority said it called off negotiations in 2009 because the church was asking for too much money.
