HBA of Greenville President Rick Quinn and Executive Vice President Michael Dey participated in a roundtable discussion with Mike Bennett, Chief of Staff of United States Senator Tim Scott.
Bennett visited Greenville this week and met with several business and economic development leaders from the Upstate.
Quinn presented data from the Economic Impact of Home Building Study commissioned by the HBA of Greenville. Quinn and Dey emphasized the association’s position on the following Federal issues:
- Preserve or gradually phase out the Federal government’s role in housing finance
- Maintain the current Mortgage Interest Deduction
- Address the over regulation of housing and small business which is stifling economic growth
Quinn and Dey discussed the importance of home building to the economy and the need to avoid Federal action that could cause another housing recession.

| Rick Quinn |
Rick Quinn, 2013 President of HBA of Greenville and President of Quinn-Satterfield, was elected statewide Chairman of S.C. Builders Political Action Committee (PAC).
S.C. Builder PAC is a cooperative committee administered by the Home Builders Association of South Carolina. The purpose of the PAC is to raise money from HBA members to support candidates for office who understand and support the interests and agenda of South Carolina’s Home Builders. For each dollar raised for the PAC, 20 cents is used to support candidates for statewide office, like Governor, and for other committees and caucuses. The balance of the money is held in local funds for each participating HBA and used for local and legislative races. The PAC is governed by a Board of Trustees, of which Quinn is chairman. However, all local funds are directed by the local association. The HBA of Greenville’s local fund is directed by the HBA of Greenville Board of Directors with the advice of the Legislative Committee.
Quinn has been a Home Builder, developer, and real estate professional for more than 30 years. He has served on the HBA of Greenville Board of Directors since 2008, was Legislative Chairman in 2011-2012, served on the HBASC Legislative Committee since 2011, and has been the PAC Trustee from Greenville since 2011. Quinn was named HBA of Greenville Builder of the Year in 2008.
