I hope that you are all faring well through the Covid-19 pandemic. I know that it has been a difficult year and a half, but with your hard work and dedication, you are persevering. The staff at NTHDC and myself wish to thank you for your commitment in navigating these unknown waters.
Because of the vaccine, the state-wide COVID cases are declining, and as such we can gather in groups relatively safely and with minor risk to those who are vaccinated. Because of this, several industry groups are hosting in person conferences once again, and I have to say, I have missed meeting with you all in person. NTHDC staff will be on hand at several upcoming conferences and we look forward to seeing you.
Summer is here and that can only mean one thing for the Florida Peninsula and the U.S Virgin Islands… Hurricane season.
I encourage all owners and agents to review your disaster plan and make the necessary preparations. We’ve included an article later in the newsletter that reviews what to do in the case your property experiences an event. Please take the necessary precautions now, as we have already experienced a Tropical Storm.
From all of us at NTHDC have a great Summer and stay safe!
Layla Hartz, NTHDC Director and Contract Administrator
