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

Cornell game postponed as historic FAA ground stop hits college basketball
While much of the college football slate — and transportation — for Saturday still hung in limbo due to the Federal Aviation Administration’s four-hour nationwide ground stop, one game on the men’s hoops slate has already been called off. The men’s basketball game between Cornell and UNC Greensboro has been postponed, the Ivy League institution said on Friday . Cornell said the game, originally scheduled for 11 a.m. at Newman Arena, will not go on because UNCG, like many other teams, was not able to fly because of what Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has labeled a “communication issue.” Sources told The Post that a botched software update caused the issue that led to the FAA grounding all flights right before 4 p.m. ET.
