Warmington's Bill McReynolds Moderates Economic Forecast and Housing Strategy Summit Hosted by Building Industry Association of Southern California
McReynolds is Vice President of Land Acquisitions at Warmington Residential and BIA Los Angeles/Ventura (LA/V) Chapter President.
The Building Industry Association of Southern California (BIASC) and its LA/V Chapter hosted the Economic Forecast & Housing Strategy Summit at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif. on April 25th.
The event had more than 200 registered attendees and included a library tour, an all-region board meeting, a VIP Reception, presentations by special guests, and a land and development panel discussion. In attendance were BIASC leadership and chapter presidents, along with some of Southern California's top builders and landowners.
Former California Governor Pete Wilson recorded a message for the audience and guests heard opening remarks from Los Angeles Supervisor Fifth District Kathryn Barger. Former California Governor Gray Davis and Co-Chair of Southern California Leadership Council, which co-hosted the event, was a highlighted speaker. Christopher Thornberg, founder of Beacon Economics, provided insight into the 2022 building economic forecast and beyond.
The Land and Development Panel included:
Greg Bielli, President and CEO, Tejon Ranch
Mike Balsamo, Senior Vice President, Governmental Relations, Rancho Mission Viejo
Randall Lewis, Senior EVP of Marketing, Lewis Group of Companies
Nicole Murray, Division President, Shea Holmes
Greg McWilliams, Chief Policy Officer and VP, Fivepoint
The Land and Development Panel set the tone for the evening by expressing the need for predictability to exist in order for land purchasing and building to continue successfully. The regulatory agencies need to be stopped from promulgating more rules and hurdles to get over to get away from the massive economic transformation forcing gentrification. All hands on deck are needed in order to get neighborhoods and quality of life back on track.
