Having recently (last night) taken a quick stroll by as close to
ground zero as civilians are currently allowed to get (*) and gotten a
hard look at the area, I'm going to say with some confidence: no,
nobody actually knows what's really going on.  Probably least of all
Verizon.

There's still a lot of digging to do, quite literally.  Don't expect a
straight answer or even a moderately plausible lie out of Verizon for
a few more weeks at least.

(*) the intersection of Broadway and Cortland has been set up as a de
    facto tourist corral
