Kathleen Moore watched the 9/11 terrorist attack from her 10th floor window just south of the World Trade Center, and escaped the ensuing toxic miasma. She’s lived through 18 years of site construction, and survived a 2016 apartment fire.
The 79-year-old Moore, along with many of her Lower Manhattan neighbors, now faces a different but daunting challenge: Local redevelopment. And she’s not so sure about emerging unscathed this time.
“If you think about it, you’ll cry," the genial Moore said over coffee at her Cedar St. loft, with its hardwood floors and view of the Hudson River. "Who knows what the future is going to bring? This was such a wonderful place to live through it all.”
Fears of demolition and displacement began when the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. issued a request for proposals (RFP) last month for 5 World Trade Center, site of the long-gone Deustche Bank and one of the area’s last undeveloped swaths of land.
