UTCA Executive Director David Rible

“Few people have done as much to make Gateway a reality as Kris Kolluri. His legacy will be celebrated for generations, especially after commuters enjoy the benefits of the new tunnels. His work and dedication, both at Gateway and through years of public service, is an example to anyone looking to get things done in New Jersey.”

UTCA Chief Executive Officer Robert Briant

“We would not be where we are today without Kris Kolluri’s leadership at the Gateway Development Commission. He has been a steady, guiding hand when we needed it. His ability to work cooperatively with all interested parties helped us forge a path forward. When the Gateway tunnels are complete, I hope Kris is there front and center, receiving the recognition he deserves.”
