What did the BNBA do in 2025
As this year is winding down, we want to acknowledge what your Association has worked hard for you during this past year.
Here are just a few points that the BNBA has been fighting for you.
- Sprinkler regulations in homes
- Local town codes
- Wetland Regulations and meetings with the DEC
- Electrification.
There have been countless hours with Congressman, Legislation, Town Officials, Radio and TV appearances that have been spent this year by your leadership. We have been successful on several fronts. As you know electrification has been delayed and will hopefully die on the vine with proposed federal legislation. The sprinkler systems although implemented are limited to townhomes buildings above three units and above but providing that option for those consumers building a new home below that height. The estimated increased cost to sprinkle a home is between $20,000 and $30,000. This would have put a big dent in any momentum for new home construction here in WNY.
