History.com: 9/11: Rebuilding of Ground Zero

Curated by ACT

An intense debate raged over how best to rebuild the World Trade Center, as well as how to memorialize the thousands of victims. Though initial plans called for the rebuild to be completed by September 2011 -- the 10th anniversary of the attacks -- a combination of political struggles, financial problems and legal squabbles among the various parties involved led to repeated delays, and rebuild efforts are still ongoing. The 9/11 Memorial (Freedom Tower) was dedicated on September 11, 2011. The tower officially opened on November 3, 2014.
