“This dark chapter in New York’s history is nearing its end, thanks in large part to the heroism of our first responders and the millions of New Yorkers who have been vaccinated,” said Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO of the New York Building Congress. “Today proves wrong all those naysayers who proclaimed New York was finished – when working together, nothing can keep New Yorkers down. Now begins the hard work of building our way out of the economic crisis brought on by COVID-19. The New York Building Congress thanks Governor Cuomo and his administration for getting our state to this point, and we stand ready to turn New York’s ambitious infrastructure agenda into a reality, get people back to work and allow our region to thrive like never before.”
