Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Tuesday that the Trump administration has released just over half of the $205 million in Gateway Tunnel funding it froze in October — but the rail project’s work stoppage will only end when the full amount is provided.
Hochul — gathered with construction workers at the Manhattan Gateway construction site on Feb. 17 — revealed that the Trump administration released another $77 million it had frozen last fall to the Gateway Development Commission (GDC), which is leading construction on the effort. The latest funding disbursement comes after the feds unfroze another $30 million on Friday night in response to an order from a Manhattan federal judge.
