NEW YORK The World Trade Center sites owner has offered $20 million to acquire the 1,200-square-foot lot of a church destroyed on Sept. 11, freeing one more piece of land needed to rebuild every inch of ground zero.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jerseys board was to consider a complicated land deal with the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at a board meeting Thursday. The leaders of the 300-member congregation have been negotiating with the Port Authority for years over a price for the site where the church stood before the trade centers south tower collapsed onto it on Sept. 11, 2001.
The church agreed to rebuild on a smaller lot a few blocks east.
