The Associated Press to move to new NYC headquarters near World Trade Center site in 2017
The Associated Press plans to move its global headquarters from Manhattan’s far west side to a smaller, less-expensive space adjacent to the World Trade Center site, the news cooperative’s president said Wednesday.
The move, planned for early 2017, would bring the AP to 200 Liberty St, which is across the street from the Sept. 11 memorial in a waterfront neighborhood that has blossomed as the city has recovered from 9/11. At the time of the terror attacks, the building was known as One World Financial Center.
“We’re going to a better building in a better location for less money,” said Gary Pruitt, AP president and CEO.
He said the lease will be for at least 21 years, cementing the AP’s presence downtown for the long term.
The building would be the 11th corporate address in New York for the AP since it was founded in 1846 by a group of newspapers that wanted to share the costs of covering the Mexican War. It stands just blocks from one of the AP’s earliest addresses, 83 Liberty St.

Tonnes of cyanide found at Tianjin blast site
Chinese authorities ordered the evacuation of residents within a three kilometre radius of the blast site, as police confirmed the presence of tonnes of the highly toxic chemical sodium cyanide.
Shi Luze, chief of the general staff of the Beijing military region, said cyanide had been identified at two locations in the blast zone.
“The volume was about several hundreds of tonnes according to preliminary estimates,” he said.
The comments were the first official confirmation of the presence of the chemical at the hazardous goods storage facility at the centre of the blast.
A military team of 217 chemical and nuclear experts was deployed early on, and earlier Chinese reports said 700 tonnes of sodium cyanide were at the site.

MARINES FIRED ON NEAR JADE HELM TRAINING SITE
As Infowars has pointed out, the Jade Helm exercises will entail soldiers operating “undetected amongst civilian populations” with “some participants… wearing civilian attire and driving civilian vehicles…”
“They’re going to set up cells of people and test how well they’re able to move around without getting too noticed in the community,” described the chief deputy with the Victoria County Sheriff’s Office. “They’re testing their abilities to basically blend in with the local environment and not stand out and blow their cover.”
