The Trump administration has lifted a stop-work order on Empire Wind 1, allowing construction to continue on the offshore wind farm.

The project, being built off the coast of Long Beach, would power 500,000 homes in New York City, according to Citizens Campaign for the Environment executive director Adrienne Esposito.

Empire Wind 1 was already under construction when the Department of Interior announced the stop-work order on April 16.

Gov. Kathy Hochul released a statement, saying in part, “I want to thank President Trump for his willingness to work with me to save the 1,500 good paying union jobs that were on the line and helping get this essential project back on track. New York’s economic future is going to be powered by abundant, clean energy that helps our homes and businesses thrive. I fought to save clean energy jobs in New York — and we got it done.”
