Kevin Banes was a true champion for others—a bridge-builder, an advocate, and a friend. His kindness, passion, and relentless dedication made this world better. His legacy of service and compassion will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Kevin. You will be deeply missed.
Thank you to Senator Cooney and Assemblyman Magnarelli for calling attention to the vital need for local road & bridge funding at the Local Roads are Essential Press Conference. We look forward to continuing this important message as budget season rolls on. #RebuildNYNow
Creating a modern infrastructure system for New Yorkers starts by making lasting investments into the @NYSDOT Capital Plan.
Excited to work this session to deliver this funding, and ensure projects large and small continue to move forward in New York.
AGC NYS member Stefanie Wiley of Hoosick Valley Contractors and our VP of Govt Affairs Walter Pacholczak testified today before the NYS Assembly Government Operations Committee on the MWBE programs and reforms to make it work better.
Lots of positives for the construction industry in @GovKathyHochul SOS. We are encouraged the Gov is taking steps to restore the spending power of the @NYSDOT capital plan & to expand alternative project delivery, as well as investments in other key infrastructure across NYS.
After Governor Hochul's State of the State Address yesterday, TRIP's report on the condition of our roads and bridges couldn't be more timely. Check out the statewide and regional press releases here: https://t.co/IA4elJ11y5
Our VP of Government Affairs Walter Pacholczak with Assemblyman David Weprin, sponsor of AGC-backed legislation to create penalties for fraud through staged construction accidents. Thank you, Assemblyman for your important work to fight insurance fraud and ensure worker safety.

Highway workers keep our roads and bridges safe, so it's only right that we make sure these workers are kept safe on the job. That's why I joined @NYSDOT and @NYSThruway to push for my bill to protect these state employees and show them that NY prioritizes their wellbeing.
The Senate and Assembly both agreed on an additional $400M for core NYSDOT needs and $150M more for local roads this year and you said NO; the 3rd year in a row you’ve refused to increase NYSDOT investment. New Yorkers will pay the price in billions in added costs.
Between the underfunding of investment in roads and bridges, big splashy projects eating up resources and record inflation and cost escalation, you’ll have a lot more potholes to fill across the state, @GovKathyHochul.
Honored to be named Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee. Mobility touches the daily lives of all New Yorkers, and I'm ready to get to work on behalf of communities across NY. Thanks to @AndreaSCousins, my majority colleagues, and to @RepTimKennedy for your mentorship.
