The Home Builders Association of<br />
<strong>Fayetteville</strong>’s (HBAF) mission is to serve,<br />
advocate and promote <strong>the</strong> local building<br />

unity between members, government and<br />
<strong>the</strong> community. Members of <strong>the</strong> HBAF<br />
shape <strong>the</strong> community where <strong>the</strong>y live, work,<br />
and play.<br />
“Keeping housing affordable creates jobs<br />
and growth for our community. For every<br />
home built 300 jobs are created. The housing<br />
industry is vital to <strong>the</strong> economic growth<br />
of <strong>Fayetteville</strong>,” explains Executive Officer<br />
Natalie Fryer of <strong>the</strong> HBAF.<br />

450 members. We are proud of our history<br />
and look forward to our future,” says Fryer.<br />
