With Special Guests: Carlo Scissura, President & CEO of the New York Building Congress and DHC Senior Advisor, Lou Coletti, former President & CEO of the Building Trades Employers Association (BTEA).
In this episode of the “Lobbying Insider” Host Zack Fink is joined by Carlo Scissura, President and CEO of the New York Building Congress and DHC’s Lou Coletti Senior Adviser to the Government Relations, Construction Law, Real Estate Law and Economic Development & Tax Incentives Law practice areas, for a deep dive on the massive housing deal included in this year’s State Budget.

This episode takes a deep dive into those issues, along with an analysis of how it all came together.
The housing package was approved one year after a similar deal fell apart in Albany after Democrats failed to agree on final terms.
