Ground Zero mosque faces eviction over unpaid bills
This may be some positive, encouraging news:
Con Ed has given the Ground Zero mosque an ultimatum: Pay the $1.7 million you owe in back rent, or we’ll terminate your lease and take back our property.
Con Ed and mosque developer Park51 have an unusual, uneasy alliance, sharing ownership of a site slated to be one of the most controversial projects in city history.
The utility owns a former substation on the western half of the property, at 51 Park Place, and the mosque developers own a five-story building on the eastern half. The buildings were connected years ago and used to house a Burlington Coat Factory store.
Honestly, Con Ed should cancel the deal altogether and respect how the families of 9-11 victims feel, that the mosque would be a desecration of their beloved relatives' memories. For now, we can only hope that in the end, Con Ed will do the right thing. The site should be a memorial, not an Islamic worship facility.
