New York's Cuomo backs Penn Station refurb, promises $22 billion for upstate
NEW YORK | BY EDWARD KRUDY
New York state's Governor Andrew Cuomo threw his weight behind a makeover of New York City's Pennsylvania Station on Wednesday and announced a $22 billion investment in upstate roads and bridges, ahead of his annual keynote address next week.
The governor is presenting parts of a program he will wrap together in his state-of-the-state address, when he has promised to lay out "the largest construction program in the modern history of the state."
Cuomo touted the Penn Station development plan - a $3 billion project separate from the $22 billion program - as the center of a modernized transport network that will link airports, commuter rail networks, and redeveloped roads with the wider region. "It's going to make the state for the next 100 years," he said at a meeting in Madison Square Garden, which sits atop a large portion of Penn Station.
