On the Scene: Industry Events, ENR New York November 2018 Edition
Construction accounting, tax and consulting firm Anchin Block & Anchin hosted its 13th annual State of the Construction Industry Conference at the Yale Club in Manhattan on Sept. 28. Experts discussed how the current building boom is different than past cycles, ways to attract the next generation of construction industry professionals, technology that will shape upcoming infrastructure projects and the future of public-private partnerships.
Rick Cotton, executive director of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, noted that agency’s role “ should be to set high standards in the interest of the public while letting the private sector do what it does best—design and build.” Phillip Ross, accounting and audit partner at Anchin and leader of its industry practice noted that with booming work and increasing employment “this is an exciting time for the New York City construction industry.”
