Zoning Board Rejects 420-Unit Lancaster Avenue Project, Developer Vows Fight

On a gray morning in Southwest Philadelphia, a wide stretch of city owned ground sits quiet beside rail lines and warehouse roofs. Neighbors know the parcel as empty land the city has held for years. City Hall now knows it as the site of a proposed lease that would hand 21 acres to a building trades union for a dollar a year, so the union can raise an apprenticeship training yard. The Philly union land deal has already become a test of how this city treats public property when a powerful labor ally comes asking.
