Remembering the Loss and Legacy of September 11
The Transformation of Lower Manhattan: 25 Years Later
Lower Manhattan has undergone a profound transformation in the 25 years since the terror attacks on September 11, 2001. According to a new report released by Comptroller DiNapoli, the area around Ground Zero has undergone an extraordinary evolution, doubling its residential population since 2000 and transforming into a bustling 24-hour neighborhood fueled by a diversified business community, major public transit investments, and a booming tourism sector. “Twenty-five years ago, it was impossible to imagine the neighborhoods around Ground Zero looking like they do today,” DiNapoli said, praising the incredible effort and investment that spurred the community’s rebirth.
A companion report highlights how the National September 11 Memorial & Museum honors the nearly 3,000 people who were killed, supports those affected by 9/11-related illnesses, and educates visitors from around the world.
As New York and America reflect on 25 years since the 9/11 attacks and mourn the nearly 3,000 men, women and children killed that day, Lower Manhattan continues to evolve. Today it is a vibrant, growing part of the city, with new retail corridors, businesses that have shifted from finance to business services and leisure and hospitality, and a booming residential community.
