Press Releases & Statements

“Today marks a critical opportunity for the next chapter of our nation’s growth and success. President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have made a commitment to the American people to build our economy back better, starting with a comprehensive coronavirus relief plan and the mobilization of our workforce. Any relief plan must include direct funding to both the City and State of New York, as well as the Port Authority and MTA. It has been proven that infrastructure investment in times of crisis can uplift our nation, and now as much as ever before, our country needs a significant federal infrastructure stimulus plan – one that includes funding for the most important infrastructure project in America, the Gateway Program. The New York Building Congress, our members and the building industry can and will play a prominent role in rebuilding New York, the country and their economies. We look forward to working closely with the Biden-Harris administration to get people safely back to work, jumpstart our economic recovery, rebuild our strained infrastructure and build a better New York and America for all.”
