Tully Construction Bursts on Scene After 80 Years of Building Hometown

摘要

For months, Peter Tully, the scion of one of New York City's most durable but low-profile contracting families, was dogged by a writer stalking participants in the post-9/11 World Trade Center cleanup for an account of the project that later appeared in Atlantic Monthly magazine and as a book. Despite the firm's pivotal role in site cleanup and renovation, Peter Tully characteristically refused to talk to him. The writer's controversial epic later drew howls from a number of Ground Zero insiders and observers, including Tully's own father, but younger Tully has come to relish its description of the firm as the site's "red meat guys."
