Members of a coalition at a demonstration Wednesday criticized New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s “Empire Station” plan to build 10 skyscrapers as a way to fund Penn Station’s redevelopment. The city - not the state - should have power over the decision in the area, after neighbors and businesses in the midtown neighborhood have their say, the group demanded.

NYC groups oppose Penn Station plan that includes annex for NJ Transit trains
Updated 9:55 PM;
A coalition of planning groups, transportation advocates, community boards and property owners have opposed the plan, which was announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in late February.
A demonstration is planned for noon Wednesday in front of the Hotel Pennsylvania, one of many historic buildings in the area that includes a church, that would be demolished and redeveloped.
Proceeds from the construction would finance the redevelopment of Penn Station, which includes construction of a proposed nine-track addition south of Penn Station to accommodate NJ Transit trains and improvements for the twin subway stations that service it. The underground station also would be redeveloped at an unspecified cost.
