Here's What the New Penn Station-Farley Complex Will Look Like (Renderings)

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo revealed his sparkling vision for the new Amtrak and Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) sections in the future "Penn Station-Farley Complex" on Tuesday afternoon, by way of a dramatic, 111-slide presentation on the "faltering" state of the New York City public transit system and his plan to "recapture the ambition, drive and accomplishment" that once "made us the envy of the world."

On page 32, in a not-so-low-key dig at NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, Cuomo's presentation goes so far as to call Penn Station in its current form — as well as LaGuardia Airport, which the governor is also re-building from scratch — "un-New York."

"Overcrowded and decrepit, Penn Station is an affront to riders forced to use it," the presentation says.

So, for the tune of around $3 billion, Cuomo is planning a complete overhaul of Penn Station and the Moynihan Train Hall, which is located inside the James A. Farley Post Office building across the street. (When he announced the first iteration of this plan back in January, Cuomo was calling the whole thing the "Empire State Station Complex." We're not seeing any mention of that name today, though.)

By the year 2020, if all goes as planned, the Moynihan Train Hall will house the local headquarters for both Amtrak and the LIRR — plus 700,000 square feet of retail and office space.

Moynihan will be transformed into a "world-class train hall" with 10-story-high glass ceiling arches, Cuomo said, and a wrap-around "balcony level" for shops and restaurants.

Meanwhile, back at the main Penn building, existing LIRR and Amtrak infrastructure, along with two subway stations (A/C/E and 1/2/3), will stay where they are. They will, however, be getting a complete makeover, Cuomo promised Tuesday.
