Gov. Kathy Hochul joined local and state leaders and NBA legend Magic Johnson to break ground on construction at JFK Airport on Thursday.
JFK Airport's New Terminal 1 Will Have Nearly 2 Dozen International Gates, Hochul Says
The project will also create more than 10,000 jobs. Johnson is part of a project to make sure some of those jobs go to minorities. He says $700 million is going to minority- and women-owned firms. "We're accepting the responsibility for our future by literally building a brighter one with projects like this for our state," Hochul said.
Upgrades include state-of-the-art technology and revamped roadways for a world-class passenger experience.
