Due to ongoing economic stress in the home building and development industry, the 4 1/2-year business affiliation between the Southern Arizona Home Builders Association (SAHBA) in Tucson and the Southeastern Arizona Contractors Association (SACA) in Sierra Vista has ended by mutual agreement.
SAHBA and SACA affiliated on Jan. 1, 2005, to strengthen the political and economic impact of the region's building industry. SACA’s approximate 90 members in Cochise County were rolled into SAHBA's significant organizational, political, community service and educational structure.
SAHBA Interim President Art Flagg said the decision to end the alliance "was extremely difficult and done with deep regret. In just a short period of time, together we had raised the profile and credibility of the construction industry with State and local legislators, and the general public."
In addition to working on regulatory and legislative issues, the two associations had worked together on member education and events, community service and the SACA Home Show.
SAHBA represents 675 member businesses and 30,000 jobs serving the residential construction industry in Pima and Cochise counties.
