Building a Better Sacramento Through Regional Partnership

Published: May 2026
Strong communities are built through strong partnerships. That's why SRBX is proud to join the Alliance for a Better Sacramento, a coalition of business, labor, nonprofit, and community organizations working together to strengthen the future of our capital city.

The Alliance brings together regional leaders to address issues including economic development, housing, infrastructure, public safety, and quality of life. By working collaboratively, the coalition aims to develop practical solutions that support a stronger Sacramento.

Joining the Alliance expands SRBX's advocacy efforts and ensures the construction industry has a voice in important regional conversations. Our members help build the infrastructure, and commercial projects that support a growing economy, and that perspective belongs in the discussion.

We look forward to working alongside our coalition partners to build a stronger Sacramento and support policies that benefit our members and the communities they serve.

SRBX Joins the Water Forum 2050 Agreement

Published: April 2026
Water infrastructure directly affects where and how our region can grow. That's why SRBX has joined the Water Forum 2050 Agreement, a regional effort focused on advancing long-term water solutions.

The agreement brings together leaders from business, government, and industry to shape the investments and policies needed to support the region's long-term water future.
For the construction industry, water infrastructure is directly connected to housing, transportation, commercial development, and public works. Ensuring reliable water resources is critical to building thriving communities.

SRBX looks forward to bringing the construction industry's perspective to these conversations while supporting practical, long-term water solutions that strengthen both our region and the construction industry.

SRBX Supports Candidates Across the Region on Election Night

With the June 2026 primary behind us, the results highlight the impact of SRBX's regional engagement.

SRBX attended election night events across the region, connecting with candidates, elected officials, industry partners, and community leaders as results came in.


In Sacramento County, SRBX endorsed 1st District Supervisor candidate Eric Guerra, who was one of three candidates in a competitive race. No candidate cleared the outright-win threshold, so Eric advances to a November runoff. District 1 includes the airport, the railyards, Natomas, and the Upper Westside project, making it one of the most active development corridors in the region, and a strong voice there matters.

At the City of Sacramento level, SRBX endorsed four incumbent council members: Lisa Kaplan (District 1), Karina Talamantes (District 3), Caity Maple (District 5), and Rick Jennings (District 7). All four won outright in the primary, a rare sweep that effectively canceled the City Council general election in November.

Local elections matter because the people who represent our communities shape how the region grows, how it develops, and how investment succeeds. That's the foundation SRBX members need to thrive as employers and businesses.
