It took a decade, but a deal has finally been struck to rebuild a New York City church destroyed on 9/11.
The new St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church will be about 3 times as large as the old one.
It's just a short walk down Liberty Street from the ruined chapel it had occupied for 85 years.
The resolution of the dispute was announced Friday by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The church will rebuild on Port Authority land. The agency also owns the nearby World Trade Center site
The settlement was mediated by the office of Gov. Andrew Cuomo. It will end a lawsuit filed earlier this year.
