Metro Edition • Serving New York Airports For Over 37 Years

Volume 39/ Number 1 January 2017 Gov Cuomo Pledges $1B to JFK Airlines at TWA Hotel Groundbreaking Governor Cuomo was on hand to commem- orate the ground breaking of the TWA Hotel. He spoke about the former and future glory of the site, and promised to basically “make JFK great again”. He said, “It is a great start what you are seeing today what Mr. Morse and Mr. Hayes are doing. But this is only the 1st step. There are 70 airlines at JFK. We don’t want JFK just to be the busiest but the best airport. So, what I am saying to the other airlines at JFK today, the State of NY will pledge $1billion to partnerships to rebuild JFK in partnership with other airlines in other terminals to build the greatest airport on the planet. Because that is what New York deserves.” After many long years of trial and failed at- tempts to create a grand hotel associated with the iconic TWA International Arrivals building, Tyler Morse of MCR has made it happen. Flanked by many top politicians and Port Author- (L, R) Councilman Ruben Wills ,Councilman Donovan Richards, Assembly Member-elect Stacey Pheffer Amato, Assembly Member Alicia Hyndman, ity personnel, he thanked everyone who helped Senator Joe Addabbo, Congressman Gregory Meeks, Borough President Melinda Katz, Tyler Morse, CEO, MCR Development; Governor Andrew his company turn a dream into substance.
