A few minutes on Google failed to turn up any specific locations the governor might have offered, except for this bit of speculation:

Instead of two blocks away, it would be ... five blocks away.  Better?  And if we go much further than that, that would probably disrupt the purpose of building it in the first place, as it was planned for that community. 

Or was Kasz talking about a completely different offer? 

That's likely it.  I'd heard there were offers of land 5-6 blocks away from ground zero.

5 blocks away would much be better.  Mainly because it wouldn't be visible from ground zero then... it's a 13-15 story building.  The main problem is, it's a giant towering trigger to people with PTSD and it's within view to anyone paying their respects... and that's a lot of people.  The whole thing would within view of the subway exit people would use to get there as it is.


From that location neither problem would exist.
