“The health and safety of building industry workers and every New Yorker remain the highest priority as we continue to respond to this pandemic. Just as the Governor has outlined, we must carry on with New York’s most critical projects, from infrastructure and public works to healthcare and affordable housing. These projects are essential to our region’s future and will benefit our most vulnerable populations. It’s equally important to continue advancing projects through the planning and design process in order to not lose valuable time. The Building Congress will continue working with our leaders at all levels of government to ensure that New York and our building industry come back from this crisis stronger than ever. Now is the time to create a plan for a substantial public works stimulus package to rebuild our nation and restart our economy.”
