Governor Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., says the state will soon break ground on the new Delta terminal for the rebuilt LaGuardia Airport.
The terminal should be ready for use by 2021. It is part of the estimated $8 billion redevelopment of LaGuardia Airport.
Cuomo says New York is finally investing in its infrastructure.
“We are living off the inheritance, not of our parents, of our grandparents. Everything you see, all the infrastructure you see, everything we built, all these great accomplishments, literally from our grandparents’ generation.”
Last month, Delta agreed to finance the almost $4 billion required to build the terminal.
LaGuardia would be the first “new” airport built in the United States since 1994.
