The destruction of Staten Island’s Great Kills Marina after Super Storm Sandy. By Robert Lewis, Special to ProPublica, and Al Shaw, ProPublica This story is being co-published with New York public radio's WNYC. If Staten Island's Great Kills Marina Café is able to reopen this spring after Sandy ripped apart its interior 2013 blowing out windows and punching through walls 2013 it will be thanks to assistance from the federal government. The Small Business Administration has approved the restaurant for a disaster loan of almost $1 million. There's just one problem: Newly drawn FEMA flood maps show the cafe is at high risk of flooding again, raising the question of whether it makes sense to rebuild there or move elsewhere. The cafe is not alone. A WNYC and ProPublica analysis of federal data shows at least 10,500 home and business owners have been approved for $766 million in SBA disaster loans to rebuild in areas that the government now says could flood again in the next big storm.
