HOBI Awards
On Wednesday
November 14, 2012, a record 700 home building industry
professionals attended the 19th annual HOBI Awards dinner held
at the Aqua Turf in Southington. Sponsored by the Home
Builders & Remodelers Association of Connecticut and produced
and chaired by Joanne Carroll of JMC Resources, the HOBI
Awards is the state’s most prestigious housing industry
program, recognizing excellence in new construction, land
development, remodeling, sales and marketing, and home
financing. Winners are selected by a panel of HOBI Judges with
expertise in various aspects of home building. The judges
review applications submitted by HBA members, and travel the
state for several days, touring selected homes and
communities.
"It is a tribute to the spirit and resilience of this
industry that as we recover from the worst housing recession
in history, 700 attended this year’s HOBI Awards dinner," said HBRA of Connecticut President,
Liz Verna..
Housing Is Now the Bright Spot in the Economy? And we are!
Housing is on the rebound. The Fed promises to keep long term rates down
for 3 more years & builder/supplier confidence is up for a change …
And although we do have a long way to go, Connecticut building permits
increased 40% this year over last year!”
