A developer may build warehouses on Maspeth's historic St. Saviour's Church site, which was controversially deforested and nearly demolished despite immense pressure from locals and politicians to preserve the site. Some are still holding out hope that the developer will sell the land and it can be turned into a park. The 163-year-old church building was previously purchased and dismantled by preservationists who hope to rebuild it...somewhere. [YourNabe; previously]
