The other day, Senators Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton were thrilled with securing $18.55 million in funds to build an Army Reserve Center complex on Staten Island. However, today the Staten Island Advance reports it's improbable the complex will be built on Staten Island: "The Army Corps of Engineers has told the Advance that the three-building training complex for 300 Reservists likely will be built in Caven Point, N.J., in Hudson County, because there wasn't enough federal land available to accommodate the project here." The S.I. site thought to be appropriate turned out to be...a flood plain. Schumer's office "insisted" to the Advance that the center would be built on S.I., since the funding is for S.I. Stay tuned!
