ALBANY – The Middletown & New Jersey Railroad, LLC, which serves local clients in Orange County, will receive $1.6 million in state funding for track rehabilitation and siding.
The money is part of $27.1 million announced on Monday for rail and port improvement projects across New York State. The grants, from the Governor’s Passenger and Freight Rail Assistance Program, will support projects that strengthen infrastructure and economic development vital to the movement of goods throughout the state.
“New York’s rail and port infrastructure is critical to local economies across the state, and these grants will not only support existing commercial activities but to help attract new business investments as well,” Governor Andrew Cuomo said. “With these improvements, we can keep these economic engines running, and ensure safe and efficient travel for both passenger and freight customers statewide.”
