"We’re very focused right now on resilience," he said."Building bridges, roads and other pieces of infrastructure for the environment we’re going to be living in and putting to use all the lessons that we’ve learned since 20, 40, 60, 100 years ago when the old bridges went up." "They’re betting on these workers to be able to step up and do this job and they will do it well," Shapiro said.
