President’s Message

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by James Pittenger President - SBACNJ

Bulletin Board | 1 | www.shorebuilders.org information, you can reach out to Grant Lucking, COO of NJBA at 609-570-2157 or email grant@njba.org. These legislative efforts are a major way your membership in our Association helps to protect our industry from over-regulation in New Jersey. This year has been a blur, flying by so quickly, with so much happening both professionally and personally. I hope everyone is enjoying the summer, enjoying plenty of work, and having some fun along the way. Speaking of fun and summer, if you haven’t registered for SBACNJ’s Annual BBQ on the Beach at Martell’s Tiki Bar in Pt. Pleasant there’s still time! This is the biggest networking event of the year and it’s happening on July 21st from 6-9PM. For those who have already registered, I look forward to seeing you on the sand in a couple of weeks. Thank you to our event sponsors, CMM, Inc., Whitestone Associates, Deanna’s Interior Designs, Caliber Home Loans, and Toll Brothers for supporting this member-favorite event. Speaking of the beach there has been a serious legislative threat to our industry recently. The NJ DEP has been threatening our industry with new emergency PACT rules, which could have devastating effects on development in our state. These rules will impact everything from Coastal Flood Hazard, Fluvial Flood Hazard, Wetlands, and Coastal and Stormwater Rules. Fortunately, through NJBA’s lobbying efforts we have been fighting these rule changes and for now, the DEP has delayed the filing of the emergency portion of the PACT rules, which were originally scheduled for last month. If anyone has any questions or would like more
