Lethbridge officials back BILD's Parade of Homes launch
City council members joined the mayor at the launch event as the annual home showcase prepares to open to the public this week.
The Building Industry & Land Development Association (BILD) Lethbridge launched its annual Parade of Homes event on Wednesday, with several members of city council, including Mayor Blaine Hyggen, in attendance.
Hyggen voiced strong support for BILD, saying the organization plays an important role in discussions about the city's future growth. He noted that housing takes many different forms and said the city wants to ensure contractors can secure permits in a timely manner to keep the construction industry moving forward, acknowledging permitting delays as a recurring challenge raised by industry members.
The Parade of Homes opens Thursday and runs through Sunday, September 27. Further details on the event are available at ParadeOfHomesLethbridge.com.
