With students and faculty at home during COVID-19, it's an optimal time for work on school construction projects – only if needed federal funding is received in a timely manner, New York City's School Construction Authority president and CEO said May 7.
"This is a good time to get [school] construction done,” Lorraine Grillo said during an online Q&A presented by the New York Building Congress. “But with the current [COVID-19 pandemic], there is a cash flow crisis in the city. If the federal government could come through, we could do exactly that and get things done." The agency awaits federal stimulus funding.
