WINDSOR, Ont. - A construction company from Windsor, Ont., has been chosen to help build a new structure on the Ground Zero site in New York City.
Collavino Construction has secured the cement contract to build the Freedom Tower.
It's a four-year project that will see the company pour 190,000 cubic metres of concrete.
They are working nearly 27 metres below the ground now, and after they reach ground level, they will continue pouring concrete for another 105 floors, or 540 metres.
Company president Renzo Collavino says it's a difficult place to work because everybody is aware of the thousands of lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001.
He says it's been difficult for workers when they've come across human remains, but overall he says they are proud to be part of the project. (CKLW)
