A major new addition is taking shape on the southern end of Governors Island. Union contractors and carpenters with the New York City District Council of Carpenters are performing work on a new electrical substation designed to meet the island’s growing power needs.
The two-story, 27kV substation will support new development across Governors Island, including the New York Climate Exchange, the expansion of the Urban Assembly New York Harbor School and future projects planned for the island. The project is being managed by Skanska USA Building Inc. and is scheduled for completion in 2027.
Now topped out, the new substation is another example of union carpenters and contractors at work on a project that will support the continued growth and year-round use of Governors Island.
