The US Department of Transportation has seized control of the Penn Station reconstruction project, previously overseen by New York's MTA, and placed it under Amtrak's authority. This change signals a potential shift towards a Neoclassical design favored by some, though details remain uncertain. The redesign aims to save costs through a new public-private partnership model, following criticism of MTA's management. Trump’s administration emphasizes fiscal responsibility, aiming to ensure that taxpayer funding is utilized efficiently, amidst discussions of reviving classical architectural styles in civic projects.
In a statement, NCAS president Justin Shubow said: Trump has proven he understands the beauty and popularity of classical civic buildings, adding: We hope he will make Penn Station classical again.
US transport secretary Sean Duffy said: President Trump has made it clear: the days of reckless spending and blank checks are over. By putting taxpayers first, we're ensuring every dollar is spent wisely.
