thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who was affected by the
tragedy on the NIU campus.
Message from
the President
Greetings to All,
Welcome to the DeKalb
County Building and Development Association’s website. Please take
a few moments and explore the site and get acquainted with our
builder and associate members. If you are in the market for a new
home, or perhaps some remodeling is in your plans, we invite you to
look at our list of members to help you make the right choice for
your project.
The DCBDA is very proud
of what we do. We strive to keep our members informed of issues
relating to our industry. The DCBDA is a sponsor of DeKalb County’s
Go Green initiative. Our members take pride in doing their part to
help conserve natural resources. We work with local governments in
an effort to bring affordable housing to the county’s workforce.
One recent example, due to our efforts, the City of DeKalb has
amended their plumbing code allowing the use of PVC under concrete
floors in homes and buildings throughout the city.
As you know, the
homebuilding industry is currently experiencing a slow housing
market. We are however, excited about the efforts and programs
available that are continuing to help new home buyers purchase the
home of their dreams. Homeownership is the American dream,
producing equity and a sense of pride for those who purchase their
homes.
It is a privilege and
honor to serve again as president of the DCBDA in the coming year.
I have a great Board and executive officer to work with. Last year’s
accomplishments were very rewarding. I look forward to 2008 and I
thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Ken Andersen
President
