JPMorgan abandons plans for WTC site

3/18/2008 NEW YORK JPMorgan spokesman Joe Evangelisti said the company may still build in lower Manhattan and talks were continuing about the WTC site.

"We have every indication that JPMorgan continues to see the building downtown as an attractive location and look forward to the company's role in rebuilding the World Trade Center site," said Candace McAdams, spokeswoman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the site's landlord.

The bank has a 90-year lease with the Port Authority for the spot where the former Deutsche Bank building now stands. That building is being demolished after it was heavily damaged in the Sept. 11 attacks.
