ADVOCACY

Advocacy work is some of the most important performed by the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville staff and volunteer leadership on behalf of all members. We are actively engaged at the local, state, and federal levels of government and regulatory activity. Our local association works with the Home Builders Association of Kentucky registered lobbyist staff for state issues and the National Association of Home Builders Governmental Affairs and Public Policy staff and contract lobbyist for Federal matters.
IN 2020 WE...
WORKED TO GET THE BUILDING INDUSTRY RECOGNIZED AS AN ESSENTIAL INDUSTRY
We worked alongside HBAK and NAHB reached out to municipal, state and federal legislative bodies to advocate and secure “essential business” status for the entire construction industry amid coronavirus-related shutdowns across the country’s workforce. ​
PROVIDED MEMBERS WITH MARKET UPDATES
We kept you informed on the status of the building market at home and on the national scale, through tracking building trends, construction employment rates, lumber, and other material costs.
PROVIDED OUR MEMBERS WITH COVID-19 RESOURCES
The COVID-19 Resources page on our website is an all-inclusive destination for industry updates. We added relevant links and contact information, forms and printouts, and direct links to lawmakers’ briefings. 
NAVIGATED AN INFORMATION OVERFLOW
With new information and lingering questions from members, we reached out weekly to provide reminders and educational resources, keeping members informed and operating safely. We also communicated updates from NAHB and Kentucky elected officials on closings, mask mandates, etc. 
ENGAGED IN IMPORTANT ELECTIONS IN KENTUCKY
We followed several close races on the ballot for the Kentucky primary election in June and during the general election in November
. 
HELPED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ADJUST
Municipal officials in Jefferson, Oldham and Shelby counties offered insight into the implementations of local governments, as well as what worked effectively and what other changes may be in store.
COMMERCIAL PROPERTY WATCH
Alongside our members, we surveilled consumer and industry trends to predict the future of commercial real estate here in the Commonwealth.
