Dates set for class on green deconstruction

The Oneota Historic Future Alliance has announced that a class on becoming  certified as a Sustainable Deconstruction Specialist will begin April 11th in Calmar and Decorah.

The 10-day training session is free, with funding coming from the  U.S. Department of Labor's Energy Training Partnership.  Northeast Iowa Community College is co-sponsoring the training.

Students will participate in two days of classroom training at NICC Calmar.  After that, the remaining eight days will be spent getting on-the-job training on how to sustainably deconstruct the Caretaker's House at Wellington Place.  The Winneshiek County Board voted a week and a half ago to release funds to allow OHFA to do the work.
