50 Leaders Take a Look
Ahead
As part of the 50th anniversary celebration of New York Construction
News, we asked some past, present and future industry leaders
to provided us with their visions of what the New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut region could be like 10, 20, 30, 40 and

these views in a random order. (Besides, we didn't want to
rank them and have one viewpoint appear more important than
another).
