PACO Group, Inc. (PACO) provided program management support to the World Trade Department in the planning and development of the project proposal for an originally planned $300 million World Trade Center Public Space Master Plan. The World Trade Department later determined that the work would be performed on a contract-by-contract basis, rather than in one master plan. The major project ideas, listed below, were carried forward:

» Redesign Public Space to maintain this “Class A 12 million sq ft Complex”
» Development of an 16 acre associated urban park
» Conducted Value Planning and Value Engineering reviews that resulted in potential
savings of close to $100 million
» Revise Retail Mix
» Streamline Internal Process
» Accelerate Program
» The overall privatization of the WTC
