Our statement from Carlo A. Scissura, Esq., President and CEO of the New York Building Congress on Governor Kathy Hochul's 2026 State of the State Address:

"Today, the Governor delivered a clear message of ambition and opportunity. From $250 million to accelerate affordable housing, and reforming the permitting and review processes to get homes built faster… to funding for a new Jamaica Station and to expand the Second Avenue Subway west to Broadway… to giving nuclear power the boost we need to deliver the energy grid of the future… these initiatives and more will deliver on the Governor's promise to "Let them build!" And our members will do just that, taking these goals off the drawing board and putting them into action - creating a stronger, brighter future for all New Yorkers."
