Spitzer Says New York is Committed to Moynihan Station

One day after ESDC Chair Patrick Foye testified to the Assembly that Moynihan Station was short $1 billion, Governor Spitzer held a press conference to assure New Yorkers that the project is moving forward and refute comparisons to the failed Javits expansion:

”The difference is we are managing this in a very different way; whereas the Javits discussion was discussed many, many years ago and never really got to the point of closure, with people agreeing on a plan and hence dealing with the question of finances. Here we are very close," Mr. Spitzer said.

"We feel very comfortable that we are making real progress and will be able to match each of the targets that has been laid out there," he said.
