Details: 

MAGNY's New York City "Mega Projects" event will provide updates on some of the city’s largest ongoing infrastructure projects, both high-profile and “behind the scenes.” Leaders from three major local agencies will update the audience about the ongoing work of their largest and most transformational NYC projects, including the innovative funding mechanisms utilized, construction choices made by the agencies to minimize disruptions in our highly congested city setting, and the political, governmental, or environmental hurdles they have faced.

NYC’s "mega projects" include both those highly visible to the public – e.g. the region’s largest bridge and airport renovations and the Moynihan Train Hall re-development, as well as major initiatives that happen without much fanfare or visibility, such as the replacement of water mains and the construction of one of the largest water tunnels in the country, completely below the surface of NYC's streets (and the awareness of most residents).    

Our panel of experts will include Elizabeth M. “Libby” McCarthy, Chief Financial Officer for The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey; Michael Evans, President, the Moynihan Station Development Corporation; and James Mueller, P.E., Chief Engineer of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection. Our guest speakers will describe in detail how billions of dollars, both public and private, are invested to support the economic development, transportation access and public health initiatives that keep New York City running smoothly.

Cost: $75 for members, $85 for non-members.
