Statement from AGC NYS President & CEO Mike Elmendorf on Senate Majority’s NYSDOT Capital Plan Proposal
“We applaud the Senate Majority for advancing significant improvements to the proposed NYSDOT Capital Plan. The Senate Majority proposal would allow New York to realize the once-in-a-generation opportunity created by the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to reverse precipitous declines in our road conditions and move our State DOT system toward a state of good repair. We commend the members of the Senate Majority—and particularly Senate Transportation Committee Chairman Timothy Kennedy—for their strong leadership in making historic, needs-based investments that will not only rebuild our ailing infrastructure, but put New Yorkers to work and drive economic recovery across the entire Empire State,” said Mike Elmendorf, President & CEO of the Associated General Contractors of New York State (AGC NYS).
