Howard Group is committed to responsible, sustainable growth and development.
The company is dedicated to improving infrastructure in Northwest Florida, such as underground utilities, and beautifying public spaces through roadway landscaping. Howard Group continues to identify ways to preserve our natural resources, to improve the education system, and to enhance the community experience. The company invests significant time, effort, and resources in pursuing these initiatives for the betterment of the entire community.
