An Elmira church burned to rubble. What's next for cleanup, development
A large pile of rubble that has sat in the heart of downtown Elmira for more than a year and a half will soon be cleaned up and marketed for redevelopment, city officials said. It was February 2025 when a blaze broke out at the former First Baptist Church at 121 W. Church St., which was vacant at the time. The inferno gutted the historic building, which was built in the 1890s, and shortly thereafter the City of Elmira hired a demolition company from Syracuse to tear down the building, which was deemed a total loss and a safety hazard. A fenced-in pile of bricks has remained at that site since, but that will soon change, said Elmira Mayor Dan Mandell. After the city unsuccessfully tried to get the owner of record, Marian Laurentiu of Tannery Creek Road in Corning, to deal with it, Chemung County took the future of that site out of Laurentiu's hands by foreclosing on the property in June for more than $23,000 in unpaid property taxes. At its Oct. 19 meeting, the Elmira City Council voted unanimously to pay the county $30,000 to purchase the former church property, and Mandell said the next step is

Historic Sagan property in Ithaca to become new observatory
An historic Ithaca property once home to the late world-renowned astronomer Carl Sagan is preparing for a new chapter in scientific exploration following an investment to develop a new research observatory on the site. Adam Weitsman said he is funding the development of a new research observatory at 900 Stewart Ave., partnering with Harvard University astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb , director of the Galileo Project , to honor Sagan’s legacy. The observatory will also create new opportunities for scientific discovery and public engagement, according to a statement Tuesday, Nov. 10, announcing the observatory. “When I purchased this property, I wanted to do something meaningful that would honor Carl Sagan and his incredible legacy," Weitsman said in the statement.
