Guy F. Tozzoli, who as director of the world-trade department of the Port of New York Authority, helped push construction of the city's World Trade Center complex in the 1960s, died on Feb. 4 in Myrtle Beach, S.C. His death at 90 was announced by the World Trade Centers Association. He founded the group in 1970 and was president emeritus.
The WTC's 110-story Twin Towers were the first such structures the agency, predecessor of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, had ever built. But Tozzoli told ENR in 1971 that the agency would be its own general contractor, hiring Tishman Construction as its key agent but awarding 200 prime contracts (ENR 2/11/71 p. 30).
