BY DOUGLAS CLARK | DECEMBER 10, 2020 | INVESTMENT
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced today the state’s commitment of $190 million in state funds for the renovation and upgrade of Newark Penn Station.
The work is scheduled to begin immediately with $30 million of the funds being allocated, with the initial scope involving the restoration of the classic benches in the waiting room, installation of brighter lighting, updating of the bathrooms, improved HVAC and air-handling, fresh paint and tile, and a deep clean of the limestone exterior to once again showcase the architecturally significant façade.
Additional upgrades are slated over the next five years totaling $160 million, officials said.
