One possible stumbling block for the proposed mosque near the WTC has been the potential landmarking of the 45 Park Place site. It's been "calendered" by the Landmarks Preservation Commission since 1989, and the LPC scheduled a public hearing once the plans for Cordoba House were announced. Now the community board has said it doesn't think the site's worth landmarking. The board's advice holds no official weight, but will fear of appearing political lead the LPC to agree with CB1 anyway? [DNAinfo; previously]
