KB delivers quality Las Vegas homes
The KB company has been building homes for nearly 50 years. Together with Kaufman & Broad S.A., its majority-owned subsidiary in France, the company delivered homes to 27,331 families in the United States and France during the 2003 fiscal year. KB delivered more than 3,800 homes in the Las Vegas Valley in 2004.
In November 2003, after implementing the builder association's Certified Trade Contractor program, KB announced that the Las Vegas division would become the prototype for the company's nationwide rollout of the program.

Environment Groups Gain A Strategic Victory
Environmental groups involved in the protection of
Lake Tahoe won a major victory when the judge sided
with them and blocked the construction of thousands of
homes north of Lake Tahoe. He also said that the

groups had filed a lawsuit in Jan'2004 saying the
community's plans to construct the homes did not take
into account the impact on the wildlife, water, and
air quality.
The Placer County's had planned to construct 6000
homes in the valley southeast of Truckee, California.
The judge's orders means henceforth all activities
under the 2003 Martis Valley Community Plan will be
suspended.
The judge said that project had built-in opportunities
create environmental mischief. "Of particular concern
is the impact which the project will have upon traffic
and air quality impacts within the Tahoe Basin," he
wrote.
