Summary

The Hudson County Board approved a resolution supporting the Hudson (Gateway) Tunnel project and affirmed continued local advocacy for the regional infrastructure effort; Gateway Development Commission staff thanked the county for vocal backing.

The Hudson County Board of County Commissioners voted to approve a resolution supporting the Hudson (Gateway) Tunnel project, reflecting the county's ongoing advocacy for a new trans-Hudson rail tunnel and related regional infrastructure investments.

Commissioners indicated the tunnel is a necessity for Hudson County and the larger New York–New Jersey region. Rebecca Zach, senior director of government and community affairs at the Gateway Development Commission, thanked the county and commissioners for their support, noting that hundreds of millions of dollars of construction are under way on both sides of the river and calling the county's backing "incredibly heartening." "We are here, and we will fight until the very end to make this happen," Zach said.

The resolution was sponsored by the board as a whole and passed during the meeting. Commissioners said they would continue to coordinate with regional partners and share updates from the Gateway Development Commission as the project advances.
