Cuomo is also proposing to build the largest convention center in America on the grounds of Aqueduct Race Track. It would replace the Jacob Javits Center, which has for the quarter-century of its existence been deplored as too small and, being in relative isolation in the far western part of Midtown Manhattan, too out-of-the-way. Perales said the governor would like to see the Javits Center replaced by housing and a full plan for West Midtown redevelopment, rather than the partial measures thus far taken.

Gov. Cuomo yesterday strongly suggested he’s willing to compromise on his plan to replace the Javits Convention Center on the West Side with a Battery Park City-style development while building a huge new center at Aqueduct Race Course in Queens.
“You could leave part of Javits,’’ said Cuomo, when asked about criticism that Manhattan hotels will be hurt and some exhibitors won’t want to travel to Jamaica when coming to the city for trade shows.
