Your BIAOC Chapter Update: June 2022 Recap
It is hard to believe we are just days away from celebrating Independence Day. As a kid, July 4th meant block parties, fireworks, pool parties, and summer break. I have so many memories of this day centered around the apartments, homes, and neighborhoods I grew up in, reminding me how essential our industry is to the well-being of our current and future generations.

The work that each of you does daily impacts lives positively, and I am incredibly proud to be part of the Home Building Industry, working alongside all of our members. 

However, July 4th is much more than a day off, BBQ, or fireworks displays. Independence Day celebrates one of America’s most hallowed documents and the birth of this great nation. 

The original signers of this document were beyond brave, recognizing that everything they had, including their lives, was at risk. Benjamin Franklin went on to say, β€œWe must all hang together, or assuredly, we will all hang separately.” 

In the coming years, America remained brave through all the bloodshed. That courage created a nation built on a universal claim to human dignity, on the proposition that every man, woman, and child had a right to a future of freedom. 

I wish all of you a wonderful July 4th!

Government Affairs Update
Laguna Niguel
HOUSING WIN!
Last week, the Laguna Niguel City Council voted unanimously to approve the Laguna Niguel City Center project! This proposed mixed-use project will offer retail, office, wellness, a new library and civic space, along with 275 apartment homes. Thank you to the BIAOC Members who attended and spoke in favor of the project.
Brea
Last week, BIAOC Vice President Adam Wood testified in Brea this week in support of the The Brea 265 project. Full project details can be found by clicking here. Interestingly, the council took testimony and presentations but will not vote on the project until July 19th, so we are anxiously awaiting the outcome.
