SNHBA decided to host the Environment Fair as a membership mixer event because environmental issues continue to increase in importance for SNHBA members, the association and the local building industry.

Clark County air quality, including dust-control; conservation and the efficient use of water, energy and natural resources; and storm-water drainage control, are just a few of the environmental topics that members and SNHBA are involved with on a regular basis.
