ASTM Proposes $6B Penn Station Overhaul, Critics Question MSG Favoritism

A private developer, ASTM North America, has unveiled a competing plan for the redesign of Manhattan's Pennsylvania Station, claiming it would be significantly cheaper than the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)-backed proposal.
