Statement from Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO of the New York Building Congress, on New York City’s July 1 Reopening

“This has been an incredibly difficult time for New York, its residents and its businesses, but July 1 will mark the beginning of the city’s next great chapter,” said Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO of the New York Building Congress. “New York will come roaring back better than ever, proving wrong everyone who said our great city would never be the same. The building industry set the model for keeping people employed through the pandemic without sacrificing safety, and as we did after crises in the past, we are ready to once again help lead New York through its recovery, build the next generation of this city and lay the foundation for a better future for all. New York’s comeback will be greater than its setback.”
