he Housing and Building Association of Western Colorado will host its annual Home Improvement & Remodeling Expo on March 6-8 at the Grand Junction Convention Center, bringing together more than 100 local builders, contractors and suppliers in one of the region’s largest annual showcases for residential construction and remodeling. The three-day event runs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. For many contractors, the expo represents the unofficial kickoff to the spring building season. Early conversations often translate into booked projects throughout the season, helping stabilize crews and sustain local employment across the trades. The expo also serves as a major annual fundraiser for the Housing and Building Association of Western Colorado. Funds raised support the HBA’s year-round initiatives, including local housing-policy advocacy, collaborative efforts such as its housing summit, and the Careers in Construction program in partnership with Mesa County Valley School District 51. Four returning exhibitors illustrated in interviews with The Business Times how the expo supports local employment and longterm industry sustainability. See story Page 5
