The Queens Courier reports that some changes will be made to the plans of the future Hunters Point library, thanks to Hurricane Sandy. Those involved with the project have decided that, in light of all the flooding that took place during the superstorm, they’ll grade the land that will support the building one foot higher than originally planned. The original plans placed the structure above the 100-year-flood line, but library officials, architects and members of the Department of Design and Construction (DDC) decided one couldn’t be too careful, and thus the changes were made.
