Lower Manhattan is where New York City was born nearly 400 years ago, and where the city has time and again reinvented itself. Having withstood the devastation wrought by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the economic consequences of the financial crisis of 2008, and the damage inflicted by Hurricane Sandy, Lower Manhattan is once again one of the city’s fastest-growing neighborhoods and business districts, and an increasingly important source of economic growth and opportunity for New Yorkers.
