Industry Issues
About Industry Issues –
The purpose of the Industry Issues Committee is help to address regulatory and related legal action and similar activities that adversely impact the building industry such as the Hometown Democracy scam, proportionate share for transportation and schools that makes impact fees look like pocket change, comprehensive plans that have no future provision for single-family housing. The Sierra Club and other environmental special interest groups have raised huge sums of money to fund efforts to both make regulations tougher and to stop growth.
Tampa Bay Builders Association Implements Industry Issues Fund
Public misperceptions of the building industry are running rampant, fueled by media who constantly portray our members as the anti-environmental, insensitive, money-hungry enemy.
Similar to other local builders associations, the TBBA has established an Industry Issues Fund that is geared toward dealing with these problems.
The Sierra Club and other environmental special interest groups have raised huge sums of money to fund efforts that are not only geared to make regulations tougher, but to stop growth.
Voluntary contributions by TBBA members to the Industry Issues Fund will help to underwrite the cost of legal challenges to regulatory issues, impact fees, building moratoria, as well as data research to counter activist propaganda, and public relations campaigns to tell “our side of the story”.
Rather than any kind of assessment, dues increase, or a percent of value of business, the TBBA Board of Directors knew that members would prefer a fair-share, voluntary approach to funding the effort. Although the issues directly affect builders and developers, all subcontractors, suppliers and service companies are all ultimately affected and are encouraged to participate.
Contributions are made on a voluntary basis in the amount of $100.00.
Now Is The Time to Build Our Future With Strength!!
