 The
Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center (LMCCC),
established by executive orders issued by New York Governor
George E. Pataki and New York City Mayor Michael R.
Bloomberg in November 2004. The orders were re-issued
under Governor Eliot Spitzer on January 2, 2007. The
LMCCC is charged with coordination and general oversight
of all Lower Manhattan construction projects worth more
than $25 million south of Canal Street.
The LMCCC’s mission, set forth by the executive
orders, is to facilitate construction activities, mitigate
their impacts on the community, and communicate with
the public about the effects of the work taking place.
In upholding this mission, the LMCCC will bring together
private developers, public agencies, utilities, businesses,
and residents to coordinate billions of dollars in construction
and mitigate the impact of that construction on the
multiple stakeholders.
To oversee and coordinate all of the construction taking
place south of Canal Street, then-Governor George E.
Pataki and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg created the Lower
Manhattan Construction Command Center (LMCCC) through
joint executive orders on November 22, 2004. The executive
order was reinstituted by Governor Eliot L. Spitzer
on January 2, 2007.
The Command Center’s mission is to facilitate
construction activities, mitigate their impacts on the
community and communicate with the public about the
work and its impact. Its team works with project sponsors
to help streamline design and construction schedules,
negotiate priorities, coordinate logistics and plan
the movement of construction workers, materials and
equipment to the area.
Individual programs within the Command Center focus
on meeting key goals to maintain and improve the quality
of life downtown throughout the rebuilding process.
