the original towers fall in 2001 and hasworked on every skyscraper that is now up atthe site. “To have witnessed what happenedand to go through all the different phases ofcleaning up and construction, and watchpeople’s spirits go from low to high — allthat makes today a great day.’’

The building at 3 World Trade is one ofthree new skyscrapers that replace the deci-mated twin towers. The others are the 72-story 4 World Trade Center and the main edi-fice of the rebuilt site, the 104-floor OneWorld Trade Center that dominates the post9/11 Manhattan skyline and is the city’stallest building.

A fourth planned skyscraper is 2 WorldTrade Center, the foundation of which wasbuilt up to street level several years ago.That’s where the money also stopped, due tothe lack of an anchor tenant that would makefinancing more likely.

Developer Larry Silverstein, who isresponsible for erecting towers 3 and 4, toldThe Associated Press he is confident he willfind an anchor tenant, noting “failure was notan option.’’

As for the rest of the 16-acre site, there isthe shimmering new Transportation Hub,

with huge, white “wings’’ that Spanish archi-tect Santiago Calatrava says represent thesouls of the nearly 3,000 people who died inthe 9/11 attack.

The all-white marble underground con-course that crosses the entire trade center siteis filled with shops that also will open inAugust.

Blocked off by chain-link security fencesand armed guards is a bulky new dark graybuilding at the site’s southwest corner, withvehicle ramps leading underground. This isthe security center that will screen trucksloaded with deliveries, linked via subter-ranean tunnels to garages for tour buses andthe entire trade center.

The hard-core, concrete and steel con-struction of the complex is softened by thegrass and trees surrounding the two memori-al pools built in the footprints of the twintowers — steps from 3 World Trade Center.

And in the works on the roof of the secu-rity center overlooking the memorial is theelevated public Liberty Park, nearing com-pletion with a “Living Wall’’ installation ofperiwinkle, Japanese spurge, and Baltic ivy.

Alaska Spends $43M to Upgrade Dalton Hwy.

Leading construction industry organiza-tions are calling on Congress to make careertechnical education (CTE) a top policy prior-ity. In a letter to lawmakers coordinated byAssociated Equipment Distributors (AED)and delivered on April 18, 23 national asso-ciations urged members of the House andSenate to swiftly reauthorize and improveprograms designed to help train technicalworkers.The groups praised Congress for recentlypassing transportation and tax bills but saidthe difficulty recruiting workers threatenedto undermine the economic benefits. “By restoring near-term certainty to feder-al transportation programs and tax policythrough passage of the FAST and PATH Actsin late 2015, Congress has set the stage forgrowth in construction, manufacturing, andbusiness purchasing,” the letter said.

“However, as companies prepare to take

advantage of new opportunities, they areconfronted with a new challenge: a shortageof skilled technical workers.”The letter from construction, contractor,supplier and labor organizations highlightedthe stark findings of a recently-releasedstudy sponsored by the AED Foundation.That report, prepared by researchers at theCollege of William and Mary, found theequipment technician shortage is costingdealers approximately $2.4 billion per yearin lost revenue and economic activity. Citinga lack of “hard skills” as the top reason tech-nician positions are going unfilled, the studynoted that vacancies at construction equip-ment dealerships remain open for longerthan three times the national average.“The workforce challenges facing theconstruction equipment industry aren’tunique,” AED President & CEO Brian
