Freedom Tower
Sporadic talks continued into the evening with the hope of finding a framework for a deal that would allow construction of the Freedom Tower, the largest of five towers planned for the site, to begin next month. In one of a flurry of meetings yesterday, Mr. Bloomberg met with Governor Pataki at state offices on Third Avenue to resolve their differences over the tentative agreement that would transfer control of the Freedom Tower from Mr. Silverstein to the Port Authority.
