Kolluri, in an interview with NJ Advance Media, explained hiring a staff is an important and necessary step to qualify for, and receive, a federal full funding grant agreement to build the Gateway Tunnels. “We’re about to do another one in a very short period to see what kind of organization we need to set up to match it up with the product delivery,” Kolluri said.There is a financial concern, since its operating budget will be funded by New Jersey and New York.
