Rebuilding NYC on the Internet
April 2, 2002 Tuesday QUEENS EDITION

Whether you use www.renewnyc.org or www.renewnyc.com, both addresses will take you to the Lower Manhattan Development Corp.'s new Web site.

"We hope it will evolve into a central repository for news of the many positive developments taking place downtown, as well as an important resource for lower Manhattan residents and businesses," said development corporation spokesman Matt Higgins.

The redevelopment group soon plans to launch a newsletter as well .

Designed for free by the New York City Partnership, the Web site includes details of the interim memorial for Sept. 11 victims, a list of staff and board members and assistance available to businesses.

The "Good News Downtown" section includes information about Merrill Lynch employees moving back into their World Financial Center offices and President George W. Bush's commitment to financial assistance for New York.

Other nonprofit groups have already launched downtown oriented Web sites, including the Alliance for Downtown New York, the area's business improvement district. Their site can be found at www.downtownny.com.

The Citizens Union Foundation's Gotham Gazette provides information about various redevelopment plans and coalitions, all at www.gothamgazette.com/rebuilding_nyc. - Katia Hetter
