Statement By Former Governor Andrew M. Cuomo on LaGuardia Airport Winning ‘Best U.S. Airport’ Honor from Forbes
LaGuardia Airport’s transformation from worst to first is proof of what’s possible when bold vision meets determined execution.
Andrew Cuomo
“From worst to first, this new and well-deserved recognition is a testament to the hardworking men and women in my administration that oversaw this $8 billion transformation under difficult circumstances, in record time and on-budget.
“It wasn’t that long ago that President Biden called LaGuardia a ‘Third World Country;’ this rapid transformation showed the world that performance and vision can be actualized by competent government.
“It’s also a testament to the infrastructure worthy of the people of the great state of New York: Together, we made the impossible possible."
