NEW YORK CITY—While lawmakers in Washington, DC were focused on trying to repeal Obamacare yesterday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was focused on another top priority of the Trump administration—infrastructure.
Gov. Cuomo made a host of infrastructure related announcements on Thursday, including a plea to President Donald Trump to fulfill the federal government's commitment to fund its share of the more than $20-billion Gateway Project and a prediction that the first of two spans of the new Tappan Zee Bridge, now named after his late father, will open for traffic on Aug. 25.
Appearing at a breakfast meeting of the Association for a Better New York, the governor called on the Trump administration to fund its share of the Gateway project that includes the repair and construction of underwater Hudson River train tunnels damaged by Hurricane Sandy.
