                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEVE ISRAEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 29, 2010

  Mr. ISRAEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge Marc Herbst, 
Executive Director of the Long Island Contractors' Association, who has 
been named the 2010 Construction Executive of the Year by the Long 
Island Chapter of the Construction Financial Management Association. No 
one deserves this recognition more than Marc.
   Mr. Herbst is active in Long Island's business and labor 
organizations. He serves as Vice President of the New York Roadway 
Improvement Coalition and is a member of the Council of State 
Executives for the American Road and Transportation Builders 
Association. The Suffolk County Executive appointed him as vice-chair 
of the Suffolk County Wastewater Treatment Task Force, and he is an 
employer trustee for labor benefit funds. Previously, Mr. Herbst was a 
five-term member of the New York State Assembly, where he was ranking 
member of the Transportation Committee.
   As you can tell, Marc has dedicated his life's work to making Long 
Island a better place for generations to come. We all know that 
infrastructure is essential for our safety and economic livelihood. 
Even throughout the economic downturn, Marc continued this fight and I 
am proud to have worked with him to move important infrastructure 
projects forward on Long Island.
   Long Island is a better place because of people like Marc Herbst and 
for that I am grateful.
   I am proud to recognize Marc Herbst for this honor and for the work 
he has done to strengthen Long Island's infrastructure and economy.
