The New York Times reports that yes, construction is beginning to move more rapidly at Ground Zero.

New York City's Ground Zero has sat as an empty hole for years. Though infrastructure work is underway, politics are holding the rebuilding back, according to this interview with New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger.
