ically  located  on the northwest corner of the World Trade Center site,

known,  notwithstanding  any  prior  designation,  as  "Freedom  Tower,"
subject  to approval by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as

hereby prohibited from approving any contracts for payment for  services
or provision of grants for the development of the site, until and unless
the  Port  Authority  of  New York and New Jersey shall acknowledge such
name. As used in this act, the terms "state agency" and "covered author-
ity" have the same meanings as set forth in section  2-a  of  the  state
