Democrats in the House Improves Gateway Project's Prospects

Dana Rubinstein reports on how the midterm elections changed the fortunes of the Gateway project, which would build a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River between New Jersey and Penn Station and a new bridge over the Hackensack River:

But the House of Representatives will soon be controlled by a party that is both friendlier to big cities and more inclined to use its subpoena and oversight authority to pressure the president to, at a minimum, let the project proceed.

Rubinstein notes that prospect for the Gateway project have been remarkably sour, since President Trump entered office, considering he's a Manhattan-based developer. The article includes a chronology of events pertaining to the Gateway project since the conclusion of the Obama administration.
