Statement from Carlo A. Scissura on Federal Infrastructure Bill

“President Biden’s agreement with a bipartisan group of Senators on an infrastructure spending package will not only get hundreds of thousands of Americans back to work but will go down as a historic moment for our nation,” said Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO of the New York Building Congress. “Building new infrastructure is the tried-and-true method to getting out of an economic crisis, and we must use the lessons of the last year and a half to develop new public works that serve all communities. The road ahead is no doubt long, but today’s moment of unity is a giant step forward to heal and grow our nation. Now is the time to capitalize on this momentum, come together and rebuild our nation.”
