The following statement can be attributed to Tom Wright, RPA President & CEO.

“RPA applauds Governor Hochul and Governor Murphy’s announcement to nominate Kris Kolluri to be CEO of the Gateway Development Commission today at RPA’s Centennial Assembly. The Gateway Program continues to be the most urgent infrastructure project in the country, with enormous economic and environmental benefits. We are grateful to both Governors and RPA’s 2022 Zuccotti Award Winner Senate Majority Leader Schumer for their dedication and leadership on Gateway, and we look forward to working with them and Kris to turn this plan into reality. With unprecedented levels of financial support from the federal government, we must act now to build the Hudson Tunnel and other Gateway Program projects.”
