A strip mall is planned to be build at the site of an old Armenian church in Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA, according to Eagle-Tribune. 

Six years ago, the city rejected a proposal that would have replaced this historic church building across from City Hall with a Burger King.

Now there is a proposal to build a strip mall there that would include a Domino’s Pizza.

City officials said nothing is certain at this time because the proposal is still in its infancy.

William Pillsbury, the city’s economic and development director, said a business owner dropped off drawings to the building inspector’s office showing a Domino’s and a small strip mall. But Pillsbury said a formal, complete application has not yet been submitted to the city for review.

He said that as part of the process, the city’s Historical Commission would review the project to determine if it is appropriate because the church is on the National Register of Historic Places and is in the Main Street Historic District. “Only after that would a public hearing be held,” Pillsbury said.

Leaders of the Armenian Apostolic Church at Hye Pointe have said they want to sell the building to help fund construction of a new church in Bradford.

The Parish Council at the Armenian Apostolic Church at Hye Pointe planned to hold an open meeting to discuss the sale of the old church.

The Church at Hye Pointe had formed in 2002.
