“The Building Congress congratulates Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams on his projected victory in the Democratic mayoral primary, along with all candidates who have advanced to the general election this fall,” said Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO of the New York Building Congress. “This is a no doubt a challenging time for New York City, one we must build our way out of through smart infrastructure investment across the five boroughs. In such times, it’s crucial we come together and advance policies that create good middle class jobs for New Yorkers. We stand ready to work with the next group of New York City leaders to strengthen our industry, so we in turn can build the next generation of schools, roads, mass transit, energy infrastructure and other public works that will give New York the stable future it deserves.”
