Feniosky Pena-Mora named in 2023 Construction Power 100 - City & State New York

City & State’s Construction Power 100 highlights the most influential individuals in the industry, including executives at construction companies of all sizes and types. This list also features government officials who pick and choose projects to prioritize, dole out contracts and ensure regulatory compliance – and who, of course, show up for high-profile groundbreakings and ribbon-cuttings. Given the influence of organized labor in New York, the list also features a number of labor leaders – as well as others who want to diversify the industry, influence relevant city and state policies or simply advocate for more construction.
