2024 Birmingham Builder Named to Hall of Fame

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Oct. 1, 2024)

A decorated Birmingham-area home builder added to her list of accolades Thursday with the announcement of 2024’s Alabama Building Industry Hall of Fame inductees. Alicia Huey, Owner and President of AGH Homes, secured her place in industry history as one of two nominees selected for induction into the exclusive group of professionals chosen by her peers within the Home Builders Association of Alabama (HBAA).

Huey’s induction follows on the heels of a productive tenure at the helm of the National Association of Home Builders, where she served as chairman in 2023. Prior to that national role, Huey also served in various capacities on the Executive Committee of the HBAA and led the Greater Birmingham Association of Home Builders as president.

“I want to thank my fellow members and the leadership of the HBAA for selecting me to join the ranks of this esteemed group,” Huey said.

“Your faith in my work and my leadership at all levels has been indispensable in the fight for a secure, prosperous future for our housing industry.”

Huey went on to congratulate her fellow 2024 inductee, Jimmy Rutland of the Greater Montgomery Home Builders Association. Rutland is the president of Lowder New Homes and has served previously in multiple leadership roles within the HBAA, including as president in 2018.

Huey and Rutland will be officially inducted into the Hall of Fame during the HBAA Annual Convention in November in Destin, Florida.
