“The New York Building Congress applauds Governor Cuomo and President Trump for cutting through bipartisan politics to discuss the Gateway Program – the most important infrastructure project in the country. As we’ve said before, failure of the existing tunnels would be catastrophic for the entire region. We need immediate investment in Gateway and the Building Congress and its members are ready to roll up our sleeves and put shovels in the ground. New York’s building industry stands at the ready. It is critical for us to put politics aside and get the Gateway Program underway now.”
