Neither the Governor nor mayor would have anything to do with this.
It's basically up to the new owners and perhaps the sellers. Who are
the sellers? (Lucent?)

It may be rather expensive for the new owners to revise their plans to
preserve the monument; that would be after all wasted space and
possibly interfere with the design of buildings for the site.
Providing public access to the site will definitely be expensive since
in today's world there are significant security and liability
considerations. In the end, you may be asking too much from the new
developers.

In cases like this, sometimes monuments have to be relocated. It may
be better for all to move the monument to the nearest public park.
