Stalled 3 World Trade Center got some $340 million in financing earlier this year, but now developer Silverstein Properties is on the hunt for another $1.2 billion in construction loans from Port Authority. But not everyone at the agency is on board with granting such a hefty subsidy when the market is good. The Post's Steve Cuozzo is in favor of the additional funding, and says that to block it and curb the tower's progress further would be a terrible call: "[T]he hard-earned, charging-rhino momentum" of lower Manhattan's real estate juggernaut "could be cut down in its tracks by short-sighted resistance."
