Anderson thanked Mr. Cavanagh for his distinguished service, and Mayor Giuliani formally recognized his dedication to New York City and the building community.
During his remarks, Mayor Giuliani advocated large-scale development on Manhattan's West Side, including construction of a domed stadium and other facilities to be included in the City's bid to host the 2012 Olympic Summer Games. He also pledged to lobby the State Legislature to extend the successful Lower Manhattan Revitalization Plan to Brooklyn, Queens and parts of the Bronx.
