NEW YORK, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- It's time to rename Ground Zero, where two hijacked airliners slammed into the World Trade twin towers a decade ago, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
"We will never forget the devastation of the area that came to be known as Ground Zero. Never," Bloomberg said Tuesday when updating Association for a Better New York on progress made since Sept. 11, 2001. "But now, the time has come for us to call those 16 acres what they are: The World Trade Center and the National September 11th Memorial and Museum."
Bloomberg said more businesses operate in the area now than on Sept. 10, 2001, and the residential population of the neighborhood has surged to its highest level since 1920.
