The renovation work was part of the $450 million private investment to “redevelop and modernize” all 27 Thruway service areas.
A public-private partnership is paying for the redevelopment of all 27 service areas on the New York State Thruway. Empire State Thruway Partners submitted the winning $450 million investment plan to rebuild 23 of the 27 service–area restaurant buildings and “provide significant renovations and upgrades to the remaining four,” per the Thruway Authority website.
New restaurant options included at the Warners rest stop include Burger King, Chick-fil-A, a drive-thru Starbucks, Applegreen C-Store, and Taste NY food and drink products.
Other amenities include outdoor seating; dog walking area; private nursing area; digital tourism kiosk; and four level 3 high speed EV chargers, which will be “available at a later date,” the Thruway Authority noted.
The Warners rest stop is also the first of five select service areas that will include an adult changing station to improve accessibility for those with disabilities. In addition to the Warners service area, an adult changing station will be included in the Angola, Ontario, Pattersonville, and Sloatsburg service areas.
