NJBIA Statement on Gateway Hudson Tunnel Project Suspension

NJBIA President and CEO Michele Siekerka issued the following regarding the suspension of the $16 billion Hudson Tunnel Project, announced by the Gateway Development Commission today.

“Today’s announcement is a major disappointment for New Jersey commuters, our business community and for our economic outlook.

“NJBIA has long believed the infrastructure improvements coming from this project are absolutely necessary for our long-term economic progress. New Jersey’s competitiveness is reliant upon a modern, accommodating, and safe transportation system. The delivery of the Hudson Tunnel Project is a crucial part of that mix, not only for New Jersey, but the region.

“We urge that all parties continue to work at getting this project back on track, without the burden of politics. For the good of our economy, this major and essential infrastructure investment needs to happen.”
