STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — City officials visited Staten Island Tuesday to discuss a project set to transform lots ravaged by Hurricane Sandy into 23 new housing units.
Those units will be spread across Midland Beach and South Beach in seven single-family and eight two-family homes, which will be sold to buyers at 80%-100% of the area median income or those who make about $111,000 to $150,000 annually, Stephen Erdman, the executive director of home ownership and shared equity at the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
The stately public library branch Andrew Carnegie paid to build in 1914 reopened this month after more than three years — with a new floor to go toward finally replacing stories lost to a fire decades ago.
The New York Public Library celebrated the reopening of its newly renovated 125th Street branch in East Harlem on Wednesday.
