There are many important issues facing the residential industry. The most important as I see it is land, labor,

BAGI can continue to develop relationships with City, State and even federal contacts to make sure that we are working together as one to make sure that the proper infrastructure is available to develop inviting communities to sustain the growth of Central Indiana.

all demographics to feed the need for all roles of labor.
