APPLICANTS LINE UP FOR GROUND ZERO CULTURAL CENTER

More than ten well-known New York arts and cultural institutions are working on plans to be part of the new center that will be built at Ground Zero, Miriam Kreinin Souccar reports in Crain’s New York Business. The proposals, from institutions ranging from theaters to museums, are in response to the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation’s recent request for formal expressions of interest from cultural groups that wish to be part of the site. Among the applicants are the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art and a number of “start-ups.”
