New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the federal government has approved a $1.58 billion project to build a new Metro-North train station in the Bronx.
Metro-North runs from New Haven to Penn Station through the Bronx, but doesn’t stop there, Cuomo said. The state is issuing a request for project proposals and expects the new station to be completed in 2025, Cuomo said Thursday during a press briefing.
“The key to an area’s development is access to mass transit,” he said.
