Young Professionals in Transportation-NYC and TransitCenter are excited to host Dr. Phillip Mark Plotch, author of Politics Across the Hudson, for a discussion of his award-winning book chronicling the three-decade struggle to replace the aging Tappan Zee Bridge. Currently an assistant professor and director of the Saint Peter’s University MPA Program, Dr. Plotch has been involved with large infrastructure projects for years, having worked with both the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and the MTA.
Please join us for a night of insight into what the author learned while researching the Tappan Zee Megaproject, and how some of those discoveries might be able to shed some light on the region’s various other current or proposed large-scale infrastructure projects.
