NEW YORK -- New elevators are in store for thousands of residents at New York City public housing buildings.

Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Friday that 335 elevators at 20 NYCHA developments will be modernized, impacting about 34,000 residents.

Officials say some NYCHA elevators were installed more than 30 years ago.

The replacement project is part of a $300 million funding agreement between the city and state for repairs at NYCHA buildings.
