NEW YORK CITY—Inching part of our city's infrastructure forward, ground was broken late last week at the legendary TWA Flight Center at JFK International Airport.
With Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and New York-based hotel investment firm MCR present at the ceremony, the storied Saarinen terminal is set to become the centerpiece of a 505-room hotel.
“JFK Airport is one of the largest international transit hubs in the world and a key driver of New York's economy,” says Governor Cuomo. “The conversion of the TWA Flight Center into a new state-of-the-art hotel will preserve this iconic landmark while cementing JFK's status as a crown jewel of aviation.”
He continues, “This groundbreaking builds on our efforts to modernize gateways across the state and we will continue working to drive growth, support thriving regional economies and build 21st century infrastructure of the caliber that New York deserves.”
