Earlier today, Governor Kathy Hochul attended a ceremony in Mount Vernon, New York, to dedicate a Metro-North Bridge in honor of former State Senator Ruth Hassell-Thompson.
During the event, Governor Hochul delivered remarks recognizing Hassell-Thompson’s contributions. Video footage of the Governor’s speech at the dedication is available for streaming on YouTube and as a TV-quality download. Photos from the ceremony will be posted on the Governor’s Flickr page.
The bridge naming serves as a tribute to Hassell-Thompson’s service to the state and her impact on the community.
