UPDATE

There are 5 approved contractors to start the new house building on Bolivar....any subcontractor wanting to work with them would benefit by submitting an application to the BSBC so I can notify them of a meeting that will be held here on the Peninsula for Contractors and local Subcontractors.

View qualified builders for new housing on the Bolivar Peninsula here.

A group of volunteers from St. Matthews CPC in Burleson TX came to offer their building skills to help rebuild on the Peninsula. They did a wonderful job finishing the much needed office space to house the Bolivar Small Business Coalition. We are now searching for a few volunteers to finish the interior painting. Call Maryanne Rogers if you wish to help at 409-939-0666.

BSBC and FEMA sponsored a coastal workshops at the Joe Fagart Center in Crystal Beach with 30 builders attending on June 29 and 10 builders and engineers attending on July 27. The topics were Homebuilders Guide to Coastal Construction and Recommended Residential Construction for the Gulf Coast. If we get a request from enough people we will get with FEMA to give us another class date in August.

In August the BSBC with EPA will be sponsoring an Energy and Green building workshop . We will forward more information after we have a set date.
