Andrew Cuomo on LaGuardia Airport Being Named ‘Best Airport in the Nation’ by Forbes
LaGuardia Airport’s transformation from worst to first is proof of what’s possible when bold vision meets determined execution.
Statement from Andrew M. Cuomo, the 56th Governor of the State of New York, on LaGuardia Airport Being Named ‘Best Airport in the Nation’ by Forbes:
“LaGuardia Airport’s transformation from worst to first is proof of what’s possible when bold vision meets determined execution. This well earned recognition is a tribute to the men and women in my administration who spearheaded this $8 billion infrastructure project, overcoming significant challenges to deliver a world-class, state-of-the-art airport.
“Not long ago, LaGuardia Airport was a national embarrassment– being coined as a ‘third-world country’. But we refused to settle for mediocrity. We proved that with the right leadership, a clear plan, and the will to get things done, New Yorkers with the help of proven and trusted government, can achieve extraordinary results.
“This award from Forbes Travel Guide validates the hard work and dedication that went into making LaGuardia an airport New Yorkers can be proud of. Time and again, New Yorkers make the impossible possible, and today, that achievement is celebrated across the country– as New York City remains the best city in the world.”
