Larry Silverstein, renowned for rebuilding Ground Zero after 9/11, is now proposing a casino near the Javits Convention Center in Hell's Kitchen. He believes that the casino will significantly benefit New York's economy by attracting visitors from outside the city. In a discussion with Marcia Kramer, he emphasizes the favorable location devoid of local objections, contrasting it with various competing casino proposals throughout the city. Although uncertain about future visitor numbers, he expresses optimism about the potential income generated by the establishment.
MARCIA KRAMER: You actually want to build a casino on the West Side. After all the stuff you went through at Ground Zero, you have not lost the taste for building.
LARRY SILVERSTEIN: Well, because New York can benefit from the income that a casino will produce, and it's anticipated. The casino's really not meant for people who live in New York.
