Construction is not just a thriving industry in New York, it\u2019s the key to addressing some of the state\u2019s most pressing issues. It is at the core of every debate over the state\u2019s housing crisis, with advocates calling for ways to increase the number of affordable housing units statewide. New York City area airports continue to be reimagined as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey progresses on plans to make the city\u2019s front door as attractive as possible \u2013 from revamping terminals to untangling the maze of roadways servicing John F. Kennedy International Airport. The Port Authority is also embarking on an ambitious new capital plan that will further modernize the downstate transportation network, with a new commuter bus terminal, seaports of the future, improved bridges and tunnels, and upgrades to the PATH system. Commuters will see other upgrades too, as work continues on the Gateway project to build a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River, which will one day lead to a newly redesigned Penn Station. City & State\u2019s Trailblazers in Construction highlights many of the key players in this vital industry.<\/p>\n
