Expansion of Manhattan’s Second Ave. subway, forward momentum to build a new Hudson River rail tunnel, added electric buses for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, a Metro-North Railroad link to Penn Station and a reimagined Kennedy Airport all are worthy recipients of close to $30 billion that New York state stands to receive from the now-enacted federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
The projects have the potential to positively impact the lives of millions of individuals every day—commuters, residents and visitors—while generating jobs and positive economic results for years.
