"Cotton, 81, has been Port Authority's executive director since 2017 serving the longest of anyone in that position since the 1940s, according to the agency. During his tenure, Cotton has overseen major infrastructure projects at all three New York City-area airports, including the rebuilding of LaGuardia Airport; the construction of a new terminal at Newark Liberty International Airport; and the start of redevelopment at John F. Kennedy International Airport."
"Since 2017, I have devoted all my energy to this profoundly important work. It has been enormously rewarding and exhausting. But nothing is forever, he said. With the immense progress that we have made and the completion last week of our proposed new 10-year capital plan which will fund the agency's ambitious agenda through 2035 it is simply time to hand over the reins, and I will do so in January."
Rick Cotton, 81, will retire as executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in January after leading the agency since 2017. He served the longest in that position since the 1940s and oversaw major projects at LaGuardia, Newark Liberty and the start of JFK redevelopment. Cotton and Chair Kevin O'Toole advanced what they described as world-class transportation infrastructure and finalized a proposed 10-year capital plan to fund the agency's agenda through 2035. Appointed by Andrew Cuomo and re-appointed by Kathy Hochul, Cotton led a multibillion-dollar modernization effort and will transition responsibilities to a successor.
