  • MTA Construction & Development, the Group Within the Agency Responsible for All Capital Construction Work
    NYS Senate East Side Access/East River Tunnels Oversight Hearing May 7, 2021 Opening / Acknowledgements Good morning. My name is Janno Lieber, and I am the President of MTA Construction & Development, the group within the agency responsible for all capital construction work. I want to thank Chair Comrie and Chair Kennedy for the invitation to speak with you all about some of our key MTA infrastructure projects, especially those where we overlap with Amtrak. Mass transit is the lifeblood of New York, and we need a strong system to power our recovery from this unprecedented crisis. Under the leadership of Governor Cuomo, New York has demonstrated national leadership by investing in transformational mega-projects like Moynihan Station, Second Avenue Subway, East Side Access, Third Track, and most recently, Metro-North Penn Station Access, which we want to begin building this year. But there is much more to be done, and more investment is needed. We have a once-in-a-generation infrastructure opportunity with the new administration in Washington – and we thank President Biden, Secretary Buttigieg and Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, for their support. It’s a new day to advance transit projects that will turbo-charge the post-COVID economy and address overdue challenges of social equity and climate change. East Side Access Today we are on the cusp of a transformational upgrade to our commuter railroads due to several key projects. Top of the list is East Side Access. I’m pleased to report that it is on target for completion by the end of 2022 as planned.

  • What They're Saying About Amazon's Long Island City HQ2 Announcement
    Date: November 14, 2018 Contact: [email protected] What They’re Saying About Amazon’s Long Island City HQ2 Announcement “I also don’t understand why a company as rich as Amazon would need nearly $2 billion in public money.” New York Post Editorial Board: “Sure looks like Amazon’s Jeff Bezos just fleeced Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio as rubes.” “New York is offering vastly more than Virginia for its half of the new Amazon headquarters. What’s up with that? The city and state ponied up nearly $3 billion in grants, credits and so on over 25 years. Down south, Amazon is getting $573 million plus $195 million in infrastructure upgrades. Sure looks like Amazon’s Jeff Bezos just fleeced Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio as rubes.” (Editorial Board, New York Post, “The Amazon deal is no win for New Yorkers,” 11.13.2018) Governor Cuomo and New Yorkers paid “more than twice what the other supposed headquarters are paying.” “A company like Amazon could present an opportunity to collect more taxes to fix the crumbling foundation. Instead, Governor Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio made a deal with Jeff Bezos that cost the city more than twice what the other supposed headquarters are paying.” (Cale Guthrie Weissman, Fast Company, “New York got played by Amazon,” 11.13.18) Virginia taxpayers paid "about half of the $61,000 per job that Amazon said it will receive from New York to create the same number of jobs at the site in Long Island City in Queens." "Virginia’s state and local governments agreed to shell out as much as $796 million in tax incentives and infrastructure improvements over the next 15 years in exchange for 25,000 well- paying tech jobs.

  • Amazon's HQ2 and Economic Development
    INSIGHTi Amazon’s HQ2 and Economic Development: Perspectives and Policy Options March 8, 2019 In February 2019, facing political and public opposition, Amazon canceled the New York portion of its planned second headquarters (HQ2). Originally announced in November 2018, HQ2 was going to be split between the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC, and Long Island City, NY, which Amazon claimed would each gain as many as 25,000 direct jobs as a result. According to its cancelation announcement, Amazon plans to proceed with its Virginia site, along with a smaller third site in Nashville also announced last November that Amazon suggested would generate 5,000 additional jobs. Amazon’s announcement followed an approximately year-long process in which over 238 localities competed to attract HQ2. Overall, reactions to Amazon’s initial announcement were mixed, reflecting contrasting views of economic development prioritizing economic growth on the one hand, and social welfare on the other. While proponents of the Virginia and New York bids celebrated the expected economic and job growth, detractors claimed the value of robust economic incentives—nearly $3 billion in New York, about $750 million in Virginia, and hundreds of millions in additional indirect incentives—would be better used to address poverty and economic inequality. Amazon’s selections also reinforced concerns over “mega- regions” like New York City and Washington, DC, attracting outsized economic gains while other regions plateaued or declined. The debate over HQ2 has led to questions over the justifiability of economic incentives for large corporations like Amazon, how those incentives play out in competition between states and localities, and the role of economic development policies in general.
