Construction of Greek Orthodox church destroyed in Sept. 11 attacks halted


Construction on a Greek Orthodox church destroyed in the Sept. 11 attacks was temporarily suspended Tuesday because of the inability to meet payment deadlines and questions over how donations have been used. After two firms were hired to investigate the construction, Skanska USA, the lead company in the project, ordered a stoppage. The Times reported that the result has been a breach of trust among many of the 1.5 million parishioners of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, the archdiocese has itself acknowledged, as wealthy donors and humble parishioners wonder whether their donations were used appropriately. The building housed a tavern when Greek immigrants bought it in 1919 to use as a church. It was the only building not part of the trade center complex that was demolished after hijackers flew commercial jets into the towers.
