In an oral history newly published by the Coney Island History Project, Anthony D’Amico tells the secret inside story of how Coney Island’s $350 million dollar Stillwell Avenue Terminal came into being. D'Amico was the Chief Financial Officer in charge of funding billions of dollars in MTA mega-projects, including the the Second Avenue subway, Fulton Transit Center, and rebuilding the Cortland Street Station destroyed in 9/11. D'Amico also describes the highlights of his fascinating 37-year career in public transit. In part 2 of the interview, D'Amico reveals the complexities encountered when rebuilding the Cortlandt Street Station at the World Trade Center after it was destroyed in the 9/11 attacks.
