Blitz Home Builders,
 
We would like to announce that the 2025 Blitz Build will be in Flagstaff, Arizona.  We think in June, but the dates have not been finalized yet.
 
Flagstaff is about a 2-hour drive north of Phoenix.  It is in the pine trees at an elevation of about 7000 feet.  It’s a beautiful city and, for Phoenicians, is a popular place to escape the summer heat.
 
We will be building starter homes.  They are about 600 square feet, with a great room, kitchen, and bathroom on the main level, and a loft for sleeping above.  The development we will be building in is planned to have 40 of these homes when completed.
 
Registration should be opening in December, 2024.
 
As soon as the build dates have been firmed up, we’ll let you know.
 
Hope to see you in Flag (as the locals call it),
 
BHB Planning Committee
