 In March 2009, the Port Authority stated that it had stopped talking with the church and had canceled building St. Nicholas altogether.The Port Authority said that the church was asking for too much, and that they might delay the whole World Trade Center project.The Archdiocese, however, said that they just wanted the church back, and a third of the building would be a memorial for 9/11, a place where people of all faiths could pray and remember those who died in the attacks.
