STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. A crowd of several hundred people marched down Forest Avenue Saturday afternoon to protest a BJ’s Wholesale development slated to be built on the Graniteville Wetlands.
Marchers began to gather at the intersection of Forest Avenue and Richmond Avenue in Graniteville just before noon and only days before work could potentially begin at the site. Some who attended held signs that read, “Save Our Wetlands” and “Wetlands Not Warehouses.”
