What happens when housing projects, infrastructure improvements, and commercial developments get delayed?
The answer is much bigger than higher construction costs.
Every delay ripples through our economy; impacting local businesses, workers, housing affordability, tax revenue, investment, and the overall competitiveness of Sonoma County.
Join us July 1st to explore the real Cost of Delay: Development, Labor & Our Economy.
Featuring an outstanding panel of industry leaders:
- Amy Christopherson, Christopherson Builders
- Mike Pickens, Operating Engineers Local 3
- Burbank Housing
Moderated by Lisa Wittke Schaffner, President & CEO of the North Coast Builders Exchange.
This is not a debate about growth versus no growth. It is a thoughtful discussion about the economic consequences of delays and what is at stake for our entire community.
When projects stall:
- Construction jobs are postponed.
- Housing costs continue to rise.
- Businesses struggle to attract and retain employees.
- Critical infrastructure improvements are delayed.
- Economic opportunities are lost.
- The cost is ultimately borne by all of us.
We hope you'll join us for an insightful, candid, and incredibly important discussion.
Together, we'll explore a simple but powerful question:
What is the true cost of delay? And who ultimately pays the price?
We look forward to seeing you there.
