Midday News: East Harlem Leaders Seek to Reopen Abandoned Rail Station, Trump Administration Floats Federal Takeover of 9/11 Memorial, and GrowNYC Hosts Fermentation Fest

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

East Harlem leaders want to repurpose a long-forgotten rail station to link the incoming Second Avenue subway to the neighborhood’s Metro North stop. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has floated federal control of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, and WNYC’s Hannah Frishberg reports on how local officials and first responders are reacting. Plus, GrowNYC will host a free Fermentation Fest at the Union Square Greenmarket on Friday, with fermentation expert Sandor Katz and Norwich Meadows Farm co-owner Zaid Kurdieh joining us to preview the event.
