Many hands make light work… and a good Parade.

A working group has been developed for purposes of planning different aspects of the 2010 BIA Parade. The group consists of representatives from the BIA, various members of the New Albany community, as well as representatives from the site developer, The New Albany Company.

The group will meet regularly over the next several months to brainstorm ideas and plan the many exciting elements that will make this year’s Parade of Homes truly spectacular.

M/I Homes will celebrate its 25th year as a parade participant, the longest of any builder in parade history.

Announcing the 2010 Parade: Ackerly Park in New Albany.

We’re pleased to announce that next year’s Parade (okay, we know we still aren’t finished with this year’s event, but why wait to share good news?) will take place at a beautiful site in the heart of the New Albany community: Ackerly Park.

In 1991 and 1992, the BIA Parade of Homes was one of the first opportunities for people to see the new New Albany community; the event also returned there in 1999.   The 2010 Parade site  is within walking distance of the majority of the New Albany community’s amenities:  Market Square, the school campus, several places of worshiop, and the McCoy Center for the Performing Arts.

If you are a builder interested in participating in next year’s Parade, let Jim Hilz at the BIA office know.  The lot selection will likely take place by the end of September/early October.

For a map of the site and the complete press release, visit the Ackerly Park page on this web site.   And help us welcome back the New Albany Company as a host developer for the Parade!
