The New York Times
Elected officials announced deals on funding of a new international terminal at Kennedy Airport and improvements to commuter train service.
Now that Congress has approved a massive increase in spending on infrastructure, three big transportation projects in New York City with a combined estimated cost of nearly $14 billion are back on track.

The projects have been planned for years but were stalled by the pandemic and questions of how they would be financed. The $1 trillion infrastructure bill that President Biden signed last month provided funding that helped resolve the issues that had blocked the projects.
