From MBA Pierce:
I am excited to share with you the great news! As of today, June 5th, Pierce County is officially authorized for Phase 2 of residential construction, effectively immediately. This plan was based on recommendations from the Construction Roundtable work group, which BIAW was a part of. View the Phase 2 approval letter.
According to the Governor's Phase 2 Construction Working Group Requirements, all construction, including those activities for which social distancing may not be maintained and the start of new construction projects, is authorized to resume.
To assist you, BIAW has prepared Phase 2 resources below to provide you with everything you need to know to safely and legally resume homebuilding.
