Editing World Trade Center site (section)

===Ownership status===
While the PANYNJ is often identified as the owner of the WTC site, the ownership situation was complicated after the September 11 attacks. The Port Authority did own a "significant" internal portion of the site of {{convert|16|acre|ha}} but has acknowledged "ambiguities over ownership of miscellaneous strips of property at the World Trade Center site" going back to the 1960s. It was unclear who owned {{convert|2.5|acre|ha}} of the site which is land where streets had been before the World Trade Center was built.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Dunlap |first=David W. |title=Who Owns Ground Zero?
