Having already received one of the sweetest deals in city history to build a new 43-story headquarters in Battery Park City near the World Trade Center, Goldman Sachs will soon be entitled to about $320 million in penalties because all of the promised infrastructure projects at Ground Zero are so behind schedule (surprise!). However, it would be a bad PR move for an investment bank to demand all that taxpayer-provided money, and so Goldman is in talks with the city and state on some sort of compromise.
