Sills Cummis’ Jerry Zaro, one of New Jersey’s three trustees
of the Gateway Development Corp., was interviewed about the Gateway Tunnel project
– something he sees as an economic stimulus that comes with societal and
economic benefits too.
According to Zaro, “It’s not just a tunnel. There are very
few things that accomplish multiple objectives like this will. For
transportation, it speaks for itself. You can’t have a 110-year-old tunnel,
carrying 200,000 people a day, reliably and safely forever.” The article went
on to say there are the economic, environmental and social benefits. Zaro
continued, “Think about the tens of thousands of jobs that this will create. The
economic stimulus to the region could help narrow income inequality in this
area. And then, there’s the spillover effects of helping environmental
emissions by taking cars off of the road. Where else can you get all these
societal, economic and environmental benefits from one program. That’s what our
program can do.”
