Common Sense supports the Alternate Plan
The Hunters Point Community Coalition (HPCC) developed the Alternate Plan
with Harken Architects. The adjacent photo illustrates the approximate
elevations of both plans from the railroad cut. The Coalition proposes a
park that extends to the waterfront. Queens West's first building, at
43-stories, will rise to twice the height of the Schwartz Chemical stacks,
and block the view.
The HPCC, formed in 1990, is an organization whose mission is to preserve
the uniqueness of the Hunters Point neighborhood through community-based
development, and protect its residents and businesses from the damaging
effects of the proposed Queens West development project.
