Statement from New York Building Congress on Senate Democrats' 'Blueprint to Rebuild America's Infrastructure'

"We are greatly encouraged by the Senate Democrats' Blueprint to Rebuild America's Infrastructure, which would dedicate $1 trillion to maintain, improve and expand the nation's vast network of roads, bridges, airports, schools, hospitals, ports and other vital infrastructure. Their vision would create millions of well-paying jobs in the short-term while also serving as a down-payment on America's continued economic strength throughout the world. This show of Congressional support, along with a similar vow from President Trump, bodes well not just for New York City but for towns large and small through the United States," said Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO, New York Building Congress.
