“We know that the only path to recovery is to build our way out of this crisis, and the budget enacted by our State leaders ensures we do just that,” said Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO of the New York Building Congress. “With more than $300 billion of infrastructure projects underway or in the pipeline, the State has a clear economic agenda that will build a better, fairer New York. This bold spending plan not only paves the way for new roads and bridges, green energy projects, clean water infrastructure and affordable housing, but it creates a reimagined Penn Station complex with better MTA and Amtrak service and progresses the Restore Mother Nature Bond Act, which would result in nation-leading investments to benefit the environment. The New York Building Congress applauds our State leadership for this necessary, transformative budget and we look forward to continuing to work with them to build a better New York for all.”
