American Triple I CEO and chief information officer David Cibrian said” “The redevelopment of JFK comes at a critical time as we work to achieve economic recovery from the recent crisis.
“As a minority owned business, ATI understands the importance of this project to the local and diverse community.
“Governor Cuomo’s and the Port Authority’s requirement of 30% MWBE participation in all aspects of the project helped make it possible for ATI to be in this partnership.
“Requiring participation that is reflective of the community it serves has made New York the nation’s gold standard for MWBE utilization, and other states have taken note.”
