Trump administration is pursuing a $7 billion Penn Station renovation as a priority, but MTA Chair Janno Lieber has publicly rejected partnering on the deal, citing concerns about cost oversight and Trump's relationship with MSG owner James Dolan. The administration will likely struggle to move forward without MTA buy-in since the state agency controls rail operations in the station. This is a real clash — not a hypothetical need for cooperation, but an active disagreement over how the project should be structured and who should control it.
