State Senator Bill Perkins says the Committee on Corporations will hold a public hearing on the plans next month.

Perkins, who chairs the committee, calls the delays embarrassing and says the feud over financing between the site's developer and the Port Authority is threatening to delay the already behind schedule project.

"We are literally still at ground zero when it comes to the monument and development of that site, Perkins said. "It's a site that has local, national and international importance and it's important that we try to play a role in moving it along."

"We must put that site back, not only for the families of the 2,700 plus people that were lost but for the United States of America," said Clyde Frazier, father of a victim of the September 11th terrorist attacks.

Last week, developer Larry Silverstein took his impasse with the Port Authority to binding arbitration -- which could add months to rebuilding process.

Silverstein is blaming the agency for hampering his ability to lease space at three office towers.

The Port Authority says Silverstein has been unwilling to modify his development to reflect the economic downturn.
