STA applauds Governor Kathy Hochul, local elected officials, and railroad partners who have united in their support for the reconstruction of Penn Station.
Based on the Penn Station Master Plan, the design focuses on enhancing the overall experience with features such as increased ceiling heights, natural daylight, and improved wayfinding and platform access. With committed funding from New York State, cost-sharing among railroads, and access to federal grant programs, the reconstruction project is on the path to becoming a reality.
