From the President Spring has arrived in Texoma! With the arrival of our crazy weather, marks the start of the busy season for our Association and Industry. New home construction is off to great start on the national level and this trend is holding true for our local market. New home residential permits are up compared to this time last year, and with abundant water in our reservoirs and a strong consumer confidence level, expectations for a stellar year are warranted for the industry. The Parade of Homes is just around the corner, as many of our Builders work at a feverish pace to get their homes completed. Expectations are high for this year’s Parade of Homes, and we look forward to a successful year. The Young Professionals held their 2nd annual clay shoot on Saturday April 22nd and had a great turnout despite the cold windy weather. It was a great time and I encourage all who did not get a chance to participate to mark your calendars for the next shoot. Thanks to all who participated, sponsored stations, and donated door prizes. A special thanks to First National Bank for sponsoring an amazing lunch for the event. We are still actively working with the City of Wichita Falls on a revised change proposal for the Subdivision Ordnance. The importance of sensible regulations for our industry is important for public safety, but at the same time overbearing regulation would cripple the current local uptick in development and housing starts. We look forward to a continued positive working relationship with City of Wichita Falls representatives as we continue to work together to reach an outcome suitable for all interested parties. As always the North Texas Home Builders Association is here to serve its members and I encourage everyone to participate and be involved in the issues that face our industry.
Special Thanks to our 2017 NTHBA Partners: Diamond Atmos Energy Platinum Union Square Credit Union Gold First National Bank of Wichita Falls
