AGC's Stephen Sandherr joined Secretary LaHood and FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt at New York's LaGuardia Airport to discuss the economic impacts of the abrupt halt to $2.5 billion worth of airport construction projects. The event took place at the halted construction project to demolish the decommissioned FAA Airport Traffic Control Tower.
Congressional failure to pass federal aviation legislation is putting roughly 70,000 construction and related jobs at risk. Read AGC's statement from July 27, 2011 here. Read U.S. DOT's release from the event here.
