New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced USD 25 million to fund rail and port improvement projects across the state. The grants, awarded through the Governor’s Passenger and Freight Rail Assistance Program, will support projects that strengthen infrastructure and economic development vital to the movement of goods throughout the state. The grants will leverage an additional USD 5.4 million in public and private investments to complete the projects.
The USD 25 million was awarded to 19 applicants through a competitive solicitation process. These investments will support track rehabilitation, capacity expansion, railroad bridge repairs, and economic development opportunities.
“These grants will help strengthen New York’s infrastructure, attract new investments, and foster economic growth in communities in every corner of the state. A strong, reliable transport system is critical to supporting safe, efficient travel for both New Yorkers and visitors, and our investments are key to ensuring the long-term resiliency of infrastructure across the state to support economic growth for generations to come,” Governor Cuomo said.
