The most complex #infrastructure project in the U.S. received a major boost yesterday: Governor Kathy Hochul, Senator Chuck Schumer and leaders from all levels of government joined the Gateway Development Commission (GDC) to announce more than $6.8 billion in funding for the Hudson River Tunnel Project. Our CEO, Gregory Kelly, in his role as chair of the New York Building Congress, was present to celebrate this significant milestone. 🌟
The project will create two new tunnels under the Hudson River and improve the existing tunnels. STV has been a long-standing partner for Gateway, providing, in joint venture, preliminary engineering design and currently serving as the designer-of-record.
Carlo Scissura, president & CEO of the Building Congress, highlighted the monumental impact of this project, stating, "Today’s funding announcement is an incredible moment for New York. This once-in-a-lifetime project will improve the lives of countless Americans along the Eastern Seaboard, spurring $20 billion in economic activity and creating 95,000 good-paying jobs."
This announcement represents a major step forward for #infrastructure and economic growth in the New York metropolitan area and for the entire northeast corridor. 🗽
