City Officials Seek Federal Assistance For 7 Subway Extension
By: NY1 News
Some New York officials will be traveling to Washington, D.C. tomorrow to try and get the federal government to cover the cost of another station for the 7 subway line extension.
Members of the Real Estate Board of New York will meet with Vice President Joe Biden's staff tomorrow to ask the White House to provide $500 million to build a stop at 41st Street and 10th Avenue.
The city is funding the $2 billion project but is only paying for a station at 34th Street and 11th Avenue.
The 41st Street station was in the original plan, but was eliminated when costs escalated.
