Scissura gets set for new job at NY Building Congress
His agenda includes helping construction industry grow
Carlo Scissura, who announced last week that he is leaving the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce to become president and CEO of the New York Building Congress, said he is looking forward to his new job for many reasons — not the least of which is the fact that he admires the role the construction industry plays in the life of the city.
“The building community is at the center of many of the successes New York has experienced, and it is a driving force behind job creation and a strong economy,” Scissura said in a statement.
Scussura, a Bay Ridge resident who served as president and CEO of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce for four years before being tapped for the New York Building Congress post, is already setting goals for his new job.
