One of the largest employers on Queens' Rockaway peninsula, Madelaine Chocolate, has struggled to recover since being slammed by Hurricane Sandy in 2012they suffered $50M of damagesand now the 65-year-old sweets-maker has put its 5.4 acre complex on the market. It's located near the Crossbay Bridge on the Jamaica Bay side of the peninsula, and CBRE is marketing it as suitable "for redevelopment to multifamily, retail or mixed use." The loss of jobs would be disappointing for the community, but a waterfront chocolate factory conversion sounds very intriguing. [NYDN]
