HOME Line Webinar for Renter Organizing

January 5, 2021 By Sarah

Concerned about evictions due to COVID? Wondering what solutions there might be?

Thursday January 7, 6 PM

Register here to attend: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_KqDvlxp7RCCUzB9NpngOhg

HOME Line will host an online webinar about how renters can organize their local communities to prevent evictions. As we prepare for the inevitable end to the eviction moratorium and the flood of evictions sure to follow, Minneapolis-based Inquilinxs Unidxs por Justicia (Renters United for Justice) representatives will lead a training in eviction defense and talk about their efforts to make sure no one is forced out during the pandemic. There will be time for Q&A at the end of the session.

Lake Country School Renovation Starting February 2021

January 4, 2021 By Sarah

Lake Country School, located on Pleasant Avenue and 38th Street, will begin their renovation project with the decommissioning of the current front entrance and stairwell to make room for additional program, meeting, and gathering space for the LCS community. There will be an addition to the front of the building that will provide a welcoming and more secure entrance, a third-floor industrial technology design lab, a staff room, offices, a student health area, a reconfigured cafeteria, new elevator, and more.

The project expands the support of current programming and administrative areas. Once the project is complete, there will be no change in enrollment or permanent impact to our parking lot space.

Please visit lcsconstruction.org in the coming weeks. Information will be posted soon, including weekly project updates and a construction calendar, as well as general details about the project. We’d like to thank all our neighbors for their continued support and understanding as we begin these exciting developments for our school.

Sincerely,

Lake Country School [Read more…]

 JUDSON Church and Preschool go SOLAR

January 4, 2021 By Sarah

In mid-December workers began installing a solar system at Judson Memorial Baptist Church at 41st & Harriet. Solar panels are being installed on the flat roof of the Judson Preschool building followed by panels on the south-facing sloped roof of the 106 year old church building. The 55 kwh system will provide half of the buildings’ power needs with solar electric fed back into Xcel’s grid in summer months.
