NAHB member Bob Jones has been appointed to the new 26-member Michigan Land Use Leadership Council, which was created by Governor Jennifer Granholm. In her election campaign, she called for reform of the state’s land-use policies and discussed their critical bearing on environmental and economic issues.
 
The panel will address a range of key issues, including urban sprawl, urban redevelopment, farmland preservation and water use.

Jones is a member of the NAHB Board of Directors and a past president of the Michigan Home Builders Association.
