Willets Point relocation deal in trouble

The city’s biggest deal so far to relocate a Willets Point business owner could collapse. The Economic Development Corp. had reached an agreement to relocate Sambucci Bros. Inc. Salvage, a 52,000-square-feet auto parts business, to the College Point Industrial Park. But the site is located within an Urban Renewal Zone that excludes salvage yards. The EDC said it would honor the deal, but didn’t explain how it would get around the site’s exclusion of salvage yards. The city has reached deals with three other business owners as it plans for a massive redevelopment.
