Published on Aug 24, 2021 by

“The New York Building Congress wishes Governor Hochul well as she takes on the role of guiding our state through this pandemic and into our recovery,” said Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO of the New York Building Congress. “Already, she has begun to put in place an administration that is experienced and forward-looking. Her choices of Karen Persichilli Keogh for Secretary to the Governor, Elizabeth Fine for Counsel and other key positions demonstrate that she’s ready to lead on Day 1. Governor Hochul has been a strong leader throughout the crises of the last year, and we are confident New York is in terrific hands. As an ally in Albany, she has worked with the building industry repeatedly on securing critical infrastructure investment, improving the built environment and growing the economy through construction and development. It is time to come together and support Governor Hochul as we recover from the COVID pandemic, continue a robust statewide infrastructure program, and endeavor to create an equitable recovery for all New Yorkers.”
