As part of our New Year Celebration last week, the Home Builders Association of Fargo-Moorhead unveiled our new name and logo to members and the community. We are now the Building Industry Association of the Red River Valley. In 2023, the Association’s leadership made renaming and rebranding the organization a high priority and established a task force of member volunteers to spearhead the effort.
We believe this name change better represents the organization’s scope and vision, positioning us to continue expanding membership growth, be inclusive and forward-looking.
