If you have not already heard about the 5Kin5 Initiative, you - and most of the region - will hear about it in a big way later this week. That's because on Friday, February 24, we are teaming up with Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg to officially launch this exciting and critical effort for the homebuilding industry.
As many of you know all too well, with the housing market having bounced back over the last few years, we are on a welcome upward trajectory. We have more communities online and selling well, from Elk Grove to Folsom, Sacramento to Roseville, and everything in between.

Our Government Affairs team advocates for public policies that foster a healthy building climate in order to ensure that well-planned communities continue growing to meet the region's housing needs.
Key Policy Development:
Last week, the Sacramento City Council unanimously voted to approve the Citywide Development Impact Fee (CDIF) program. Key components of the new law include: implementation of a fee deferral ordinance, proposed by BIA staff and members; reductions to park fees as well as Quimby park dedication requirements; and a new transportation impact fee. For additional information or questions, please contact Rob Smith.

DON'T FORGET TO LOG IN TO THE MIC
|
|
As most BIA members are aware, we have now fully transitioned to a new member database system. That's why its very important for all members to log in to the Member Information Center or MIC. The MIC is your online hub for all things North State BIA.
The MIC allows you to verify company and contact information, sort out inactive representatives or add new ones, register for events and meetings, and access the online directory.
