“The New York Building Congress applauds Governor Andrew Cuomo and Empire State Development for achieving this important milestone. Local residents, businesses and visitors have long deserved a vibrant district around Penn Station, and by approving the General Project Plan, the transformation of midtown Manhattan can progress quickly – precisely when New York needs this type of forward-thinking development most,” said Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO of the New York Building Congress. “Advancing the Empire Station Complex is critical to our economy’s recovery from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and signals to the nation that investing in design and construction is the best way to put people back to work and create a better New York for all.”
