Organizers Push for City to Save Retreat House on Staten Island
“Last month, Supreme Court Justice Charles Troia ruled to deny requests from opponents to bar the $15 million sale of the Jesuit retreat house Mount Manresa to private developers, NY1 reported.
The Committee to Save Mount Manresa waged a nearly six-month long battle against the sale to Save Brothers, which plans to build townhouses on the site. The campaign group started a second petition last week to use eminent domain which organizers said would be best way to fully preserve the land, said committee secretary Barbara Sanchez.”
