Soil testing underway at Brooklyn Heights Library
Preparing for controversial tower
Subsurface testing of the land around the Brooklyn Heights Library, at 280 Cadman Plaza West, is underway to determine its suitability for a planned $52 million luxury tower.
Workers from Craig Geotechnical Drilling, a private New Jersey firm, bored into the soil just east of the library on Tuesday with a drill rig.
A worker told the Brooklyn Eagle that the company was testing to the depth of roughly 100 feet.
