Officials emphasized the importance of adapting to the current economic climate to maintain progress in the building sector.

As the meeting concluded, there was a consensus on the urgency of addressing these issues to foster a more resilient construction environment in San Francisco County. Further discussions and potential solutions are expected in upcoming meetings as the county seeks to mitigate the impact of these economic pressures.
