The keynote speaker was Rick D. Chandler, P.E. Commissioner at the NYC Department of Buildings. Chandler updated the crowd of the efforts the City is taking to make the construction process much more streamlined.
The Gala Honoree was Michael Viggiano, Executive Vice President at Skanska USA Civil Northeast, Inc.

for “bringing all the industries together.”
