Granite cornerstone marks start of Freedom Tower at Ground Zero

NEW YORK -- Nearly three years after the twin towers fell, a 20-ton block of granite will be set in place today to mark the official start of construction on the 1,776-foot tower that will rise on the site of the World Trade Center

The Freedom Tower is set to rise 1,776 feet, a height meant to symbolize the year of America's independence. It will be the tallest skyscraper in the world.

It will be several months before progress is seen above street level, and five years until it is completed.

And I'm sure Local 3 will ensure that this project is done entirely with Union Labor.
Although an occasional Gambino sub may take residence there, I would assume that the electrical installation will be all IBEW!
