Following up on the previous talk outlining the elements of a new Penn Station, this panel will cover how we get there. Building a modern train station and a new rail system will require a clear economic path, political will, smart governance, and visionary leadership. This panel will discuss strategies needed to overcome the numerous obstacles to realizing a new Penn Station, and the means of countering the cynicism that comes along with long-term, complex projects. Do we have what it takes to get this done?
