Building Momentum Into Parade Season
As we wrap up the month of May, I am incredibly proud of the momentum we continue to build across every area of our association. From workforce development and member engagement to advocacy and community partnerships, BBIA has been busy making an impact throughout the region.
This month we celebrated our scholarship recipients during our Scholarship Presentation Lunch & Learn, awarding scholarships to deserving students who represent the future of our industry We also continued our commitment to workforce development through programs like igniteSTEM, where our Education & Workforce Task Force helped introduce students to engineering and problem-solving concepts through hands-on activities.
Our Young Professionals remained active with a successful Sunset Social and a behind-the-scenes tour of Pirate's Voyage in partnership with Bay Young Professionals, while our Professional Women in Building Council launched its first Wine Down Wednesday networking event with an outstanding turnout and tremendous support from our members
We also welcomed members to another successful BBIA Academy Membership Orientation, helping attendees learn how to maximize the value of their BBIA, FHBA, and NAHB memberships while showcasing the many opportunities available through our committees, events, and leadership programs
On the advocacy front, FHBA celebrated several significant legislative victories this month, reinforcing the value of having a strong voice representing our industry at the state level. Thank you to our Government Affairs Committee and all members who continue supporting these important efforts.
As exciting as May has been, June promises to be even bigger We are looking forward to celebrating the 2026 BBIA Scholarship Home Ribbon Cutting on June 3rd and kicking off the 2026 Parade of Homes on June 5th This year's Parade features 28 incredible stops stretching from Bay County to Gulf County and beyond, showcasing the talent, craftsmanship, and innovation of our members.
Thank you to our Board of Directors, committee leaders, volunteers, sponsors, and members who continue to make BBIA such a strong and vibrant organization Your commitment, passion, and involvement are what allow us to continue Building the Bay Forward

One of the most rewarding moments each year for the Bay Building Industries Association is the opportunity to invest in the future of our industry, and this year's Scholarship Presentation Lunch & Learn was a powerful reminder of why that mission matters
Members, educators, students, and families gathered to celebrate the 2026 BBIA Scholarship recipients and recognize the importance of workforce development, education, and industry partnerships in shaping tomorrow's construction professionals
BBIA was honored to welcome Josh Balkom, Deputy Superintendent of Operations for Bay District Schools, as keynote speaker Stepping in on behalf of Superintendent Mark McQueen, Balkom shared valuable insight into the importance of educational partnerships and workforce readiness, reinforcing the strong relationship between local schools and the building industry
The Association was also pleased to welcome Kim Nix and Coy Pilson from Tom P Haney Technical College, whose continued partnership helps create meaningful pathways for students pursuing careers in construction and the skilled trades
BBIA Vice President Brian Knox, President of Coastal Classic Homes of Florida, led the program and scholarship presentation while also providing an update on the progress of the 2026 BBIA Scholarship Home Board Member Rob Griffith of Hutt Insurance Agency was also recognized for his leadership and dedication to innovation and workforce development initiatives that continue to move the Association forward
Through the support of the BBIA Scholarship Program, deserving students received financial assistance to help further their education and career goals The Association remains committed to supporting future industry leaders through partnerships with Bay District Schools, Haney Technical College, and the Construction Academies at Rutherford and Arnold High Schools
A special thank you goes to event sponsors Bay Education Foundation, the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations, and the Florida Lottery for helping make this important program possible BBIA also extends its appreciation to SmartBank for assisting with check-in, Captain Anderson's Event Center and Angel's BBQ & Catering for their hospitality, and the many BBIA Board members and volunteers who helped welcome students and their families.
The Scholarship Program would not be possible without the continued success of the BBIA Scholarship Home. Under the leadership of Daniel Gibbens and the team at G6 Development, along with the generous support of Scholarship Home donors, this program continues to provide opportunities for students pursuing careers in construction, the skilled trades, and related industries.
Congratulations to Mark Stevenson of All Your Hardware, winner of the 50/50 drawing, and to Tiffany Jones of Wenmills and John Lewis of Icarus Ecological Services, who took home door prizes generously donated by the Bay Education Foundation As BBIA continues to strengthen workforce development efforts and invest in future generations, the Association remains committed to building more than homes we are building futures

BBIA Education & Workforce Task Force Inspires Future Builders at igniteSTEM
The BBIA Education & Workforce Task Force recently partnered with the City of Panama City for the second igniteSTEM event, continuing its commitment to introducing students to hands-on learning opportunities and future career pathways within the construction and skilled trades industries
This year's challenge put students' creativity, problem-solving skills, and engineering instincts to the test through an Egg Drop Challenge Participants were tasked with designing and building protective capsules using a variety of materials before putting their creations through the ultimate test surviving impact without cracking
BBIA volunteers Rob Griffith, Grace Griffith, Jeff Ury, and Curt Hartog were on hand to assist students, offer encouragement, and share realworld insights into the engineering and construction concepts behind the activity. Throughout the evening, students worked together to plan, build, test, and improve their designs while learning valuable lessons about impact forces, structural design, teamwork, and perseverance
As expected, some eggs didn't quite survive the challenge, while others proved their creators possessed some impressive engineering talent. The activity provided a fun and engaging way for students to experience STEM concepts while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
The event also highlighted the continued success of BBIA's Leadership Bay project and the Association's broader commitment to workforce development. Through initiatives like igniteSTEM, BBIA helps connect young people with careers in construction, engineering, architecture, design, and the skilled trades while demonstrating the many opportunities available within the building industry
A special thank you goes to the City of Panama City for their partnership and continued support of igniteSTEM, as well as Chick-fil-A for providing dinner for participants and volunteers
Programs like igniteSTEM play an important role in inspiring the next generation of builders, innovators, and industry leaders BBIA is proud to continue investing in workforce development efforts that educate, engage, and encourage students to explore the rewarding careers available within the construction industry.

FHBA Advocacy Delivers Major Wins for Florida Builders
The importance of industry advocacy was on full display this legislative session as Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed four major Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA) priority bills into law
These measures represent significant victories for builders, developers, homeowners, and communities across Florida by helping improve permitting efficiency, streamline development processes, and support housing affordability
Among the new laws is HB 803, which focuses on building permits and inspections. The legislation directs the Florida Building Commission to develop uniform permit applications statewide, expands the use of private providers and inspection services, and encourages more timely decisions on permit applications These changes are expected to help reduce delays and create greater consistency throughout Florida
Another key victory was HB 589, which addresses delays associated with onsite septic treatment and disposal system permits The bill allows certain building and plumbing permits to move forward without waiting on septic permitting approvals, helping keep residential construction projects on schedule
lSB 848 modernizes stormwater management by expanding opportunities for regional stormwater systems and providing additional flexibility for meeting water quality standards This legislation supports smarter infrastructure planning while maintaining environmental protections.
Finally, HB 927 strengthens consistency and predictability within local land planning and development review processes. The bill addresses development review procedures and timelines while supporting additional housing opportunities throughout the state
These legislative wins are the result of years of advocacy by FHBA and local home builder associations like BBIA They also serve as a reminder of the value of membership and the importance of having a strong voice in Tallahassee BBIA extends its appreciation to all members who support our Government Affairs efforts, especially those who participated in this year's legislative trip to Tallahassee and those who serve on our Government Affairs Committee.
Together, through BBIA, FHBA, and NAHB, we continue working to protect our industry, improve housing opportunities, and build a stronger future for Florida.

BBIA Young Professionals Building Connections Across the Community
The BBIA Young Professionals have been staying busy with opportunities to connect, network, and learn from some of the incredible businesses and attractions that make our region unique
The month kicked off with our BBIA Young Professionals Sunset Social at No Name Lounge & Bayside Bistro. While Mother Nature had other plans and the sunset never quite made an appearance, the weather certainly didn't dampen the spirit of the evening A strong group of young professionals gathered to network, build relationships, and enjoy an evening together Events like these continue to strengthen connections within our industry and create opportunities for both personal and professional growth
Later in the month, BBIA Young Professionals were honored to receive a special invitation to join the Bay County Chamber of Commerce's Bay Young Professionals for an exclusive behindthe-scenes tour of Pirate's Voyage Dinner & Show as part of Tourism Appreciation Month.
Hosted by Taylor and the Pirate's Voyage team, attendees were given an inside look at what it takes to operate one of the area's most popular attractions From production and operations to customer experience and daily logistics, participants gained valuable insight into the teamwork and planning required to deliver a world-class entertainment experience
The event also highlighted the importance of collaboration between local organizations BBIA values its partnership with the Bay County Chamber of Commerce and appreciates opportunities to work alongside fellow young professionals who are helping shape the future of our community.
Whether gathering for networking opportunities or exploring the businesses that drive our local economy, the BBIA Young Professionals continue to focus on building relationships, developing future leaders, and strengthening connections throughout the region We look forward to many more opportunities to learn, grow, and engage with our community in the months ahead

Industry News – May Highlights from FHBA & NAHB
FHBA Florida Update
Florida's 2026 Legislative Session concluded with FHBA continuing its focus on housing affordability, workforce development, permit and inspection reform, growth management, and protecting building permit and code enforcement funds from being diverted to non-construction-related uses
FHBA remains actively engaged on issues impacting builders, including building codes, permitting timelines, lien law revisions, workforce regulations, and local government requirements that can increase housing costs
FHBA leadership continues working with local HBAs across the state to advocate for policies that support attainable housing and a stronger construction workforce.
Registration remains open for the Southeast Building Conference (SEBC), taking place July 29–31 in Orlando, bringing together builders, suppliers, and industry professionals from across the Southeast
NAHB National Update
Builder confidence improved modestly in May, with the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index rising from 34 to 37. Despite the increase, builder sentiment remains below the neutral benchmark of 50 as affordability challenges continue to impact the market
Higher mortgage rates continue to pressure homebuyers The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate climbed to 6 65% in late May, the highest level in nine months
Builders continue to face rising construction costs Material prices for lumber, copper, aluminum, fuel, and other key inputs remain elevated, creating additional affordability challenges for both builders and buyers. According to NAHB's May survey, 32% of builders reported reducing home prices and 61% offered incentives to attract buyers amid affordability concerns and economic uncertainty
Residential construction spending increased 1 7% in March, reversing declines seen earlier in the year and showing continued resilience in both new construction and remodeling activity
NAHB continues to forecast long-term growth in the remodeling sector, driven by aging-in-place renovations, home upgrades, and increased homeowner equity.
