In lower Manhattan the public will have the chance to question the latest plans to take down Fiterman Hall, the City University building severely damaged on September 11th.

The 15-story building had been part of the Borough of Manhattan Community College. It was partly destroyed when 7 World Trade Center collapsed and burned next door. It has been untouched for over five years.

Now, CUNY and local officials are negotiating how to take the building down and rebuild. It'll involve decontamination and a search for human remains. The whole process is projected to cost $187 million and take about two years to complete.

Last year, local civic and labor groups demanded more public input and, in response, CUNY formed a community advisory board. Whatever CUNY outlines tonight, the EPA must still give final approval on the project.
