Trump admin sends another $77 million to Gateway tunnel commission as next court date looms
"We are pleased to have received the funds we expected from the federal government. We continue to work with our federal partners to ensure the funding that has been committed to the Hudson Tunnel Project continues to flow so that we can keep our workers on the job and construction moving forward."
"GDC paused construction for much of February due to the funding freeze. But work resumed later that month after a federal judge issued an order requiring the Trump administration to release $235 million it was withholding."
"The feds appealed Vargas' Feb 6. decision, but the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last month that the feds must keep the money spigot for Gateway on until at least April 16, when both parties are due back in Manhattan Federal court."
The Gateway Development Commission received $77 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation to support the $16 billion Gateway tunnel project. This funding follows a previous freeze that paused construction. A federal judge mandated the release of withheld funds, leading to resumed work. The funding is part of a Temporary Restraining Order, with further court proceedings scheduled to determine the project's future funding obligations. The case involves New York and New Jersey attorneys general seeking to ensure continued federal support for the project.
