Willets Point move back on, city says

The city Economic Development Corp. says it has fixed problems that had threatened its plan to move a major salvage yard from Willets Point to College Point, but now College Point residents are protesting the move. The city wanted to move the Sambucci Bros. Auto Salvage to a site within the College Point Corporate Park, which is governed by an Urban Renewal Plan that prohibits salvage yards. The EDC is in the process of relocating businesses to make way for a major redevelopment of Willets Point that includes plans for a hotel, convention center, housing and retail and office space.
