At the end of the day on July 20th, tabulated polling results from all questions put before the participants will be available. These will be distributed to participants, policymakers and the media. Within two weeks of the event, we will publish a more detailed final proceedings report, which will also be widely distributed to policymakers and the media. Unquestionably, the public input generated at “Listening to the City” will be highly visible and credible The decision-makers associated with the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the two key organizations with responsibility for the redevelopment of Lower Manhattan, will attend “Listening to the City” and have committed to seriously consider the recommendations and perspectives generated at the event.
