Well I know it's a long shot and our elected officials are doing everything in their power, ok I'm exaggerating a little bit-some of them are doing everything in their power to make sure large buildings aren't hit again. But if not and a plane gets through I just wouldn't want to be on the higher floors with no access downward.
I can understand your frustration and I don't have an answer to the new threat to local businesses. Living in a tourist community myself it my cause short-term devastation here as well if any of our hotels are targeted. But as the old saying goes, "necessity is the mother of inventions", something will break and jumpstart a new direction.

But that said, I refuse to live in fear and cower in the corner of a cave.

I think that the answer is to rebuild the international center of commerce that was there (not rebuild exactly as it looked) and let the people who live and work there keep the local businesses alive. It worked before, and the neighborhood was really beginning to thrive as a residential area as well.
