Ground zero

Dear teacher,
"the firm that is now overseeing the Freedom Tower at ground zero."
Q: What does "ground zero" mean? A dictionary says it is the point on the surface of the Earth directly above or below where a nuclear explosion has happened OR a place at the center of changes that are happening fast or violently. But Both meanings are not suitable for the meaning of the sentence.
All the best,
