HBA of Greater Savannah Partners with Habitat For Humanity To Build 2 Homes in Garden City

GARDEN CITY, GA – The Home Builders Association of Greater Savannah and the Coastal Empire Habitat for Humanity hosted a dedication ceremony on November 21st to honor the completion of two new homes built in Garden City.

HBA of Greater Savannah President Matthew Johns of Matthew Johns Construction and HBA Vice President Robert Flanders of Horizon Home Builders built the home where the dedication ceremony was hosted. HBA Treasurer Matt Byrd of Matt Byrd New Homes and HBA Past President Candler Wilson of Beacon New Homes built the second home.

These four HBA builders took the lead in mobilizing vendors and subcontractors to donate, or discount, materials that were used to construct these houses over the past 7 weeks. The new builds are located in the Rossignol Hill neighborhood of Garden City and form part of wider revitalization efforts already underway in the area.

They bring the total number of homes built by Habitat for Humanity since 1983 to 150.

Coastal Empire Habitat for Humanity Executive Director Harold Tessendorf and Garden City Mayor Don Bethune welcomed everyone to the event and thanked the HBA for the continued partnership. The builders then presented the keys to the new homeowners.

The HBA of Greater Savannah is proud to continue the tradition of building homes with the Coastal Empire Habitat and looks forward to next year.

Thank you to the following donors for partnering with the HBA and Habitat on the Home Builders Blitz Houses:
