Statement on Gateway Development Commission Naming Thomas Prendergast as New CEO
Published on Jan 16, 2025

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 16, 2025
The New York Building Congress recognizes the Gateway Program as the most critical infrastructure project in the United States. With no time to lose on the Program’s progress, the GDC Board of Directors absolutely knocked it out of the park by selecting Thomas F. Prendergast as its next Chief Executive Officer! Tom is, quite simply, the best person for the job. He is an amazingly accomplished and recognized visionary in the rail and transportation industry. He has also been a valued member of the Building Congress and a mentor and advisor to me.
Investing in the Gateway Program will pave the way for an economic boom up and down the East Coast. And Tom Prendergast was born ready to lead that effort. And our members will help Tom and Gateway get there! – New York Building Congress President & CEO Carlo A. Scissura, Esq.
