The Subcontractors Trade Association (STA) was founded in 1966 by a group of New York City subcontractors and suppliers who recognized the need for greater representation. Now, 50 years later, the STA represents over 350 companies in every field within the construction industry. In those 50 years, the STA has had a large hand in making a positive difference for subcontractors in many different aspects. The STA advocates on behalf of its members with public and private owners, construction managers and general contractors to ensure that subcontractors receive fair and equitable treatment on their jobs. In addition, the STA provides a regular communication network to keep its members informed of issues and events through its newsletter, bulletins and educational seminars. Legislatively, the association has helped the passage of many critical laws in Albany, including the recent 2014 Amendment to Public Authorities Law (Article 1774), the 2013 Prompt Payment Act and the 2013 Modifications to M/WBE Local Law (Section 129). The STA continues to lobby in Albany on behalf of all subcontractors on a daily basis. Since 1966, STA subcontractors have worked on iconic New York City projects including Hudson Yards, Barclays Center, the new Yankee Stadium, Citifield, the Bank of America Tower and One57 57th Street among many other impressive and award-winning buildings. Many STA subcontractor companies worked on the original 1 & 2 World Trade Centers which began construction in 1966, and subsequently on One World Trade Center and the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Our member companies have truly helped create our city’s iconic skyline. I thank each and every one of you for your participation in our event tonight; your support of the Annual Awards Dinner every year and our 50th Anniversary Celebration is the foundation on which our association is built. Here’s to another 50 years and beyond of success for all of New York City’s subcontractors! Robert J.
