GREENSBORO BEND – A year ago, on April 28, Greensboro Habitat for Humanity broke ground on the duplex home at 1119 Main St. Through the efforts of donors, volunteers, site supervisors, sub-contractors and students from the Green Mountain Technical and Career Center in Hyde Park, the homes will be complete and move-in ready by July 1.
In the meantime, interior painting and finishing continues. Appliances have arrived, kitchen cabinets and counter-tops are in, bathroom tile is being installed, window blinds will be hung, stairs and stair railings are complete, gutters and downspouts are ordered, and vinyl flooring and baseboards will be installed with the help of Youth Build beginning May 5.
Through oversight of Site Supervisor Bill Hardy assisted by John Mackin, the accounting team of Tim Brennan and Anastasia Scollon and the guidance of Steering Committee Chair, Kent Hansen, the project continues to be on-time and on-budget.
Volunteers are needed beginning in late May for landscaping and other outside work. Go to volunteerup.com/Login.asp?w=i&o=328 to register, go into the calendar to select the dates and times to volunteer.
As the organization approaches the completion of the work at 1119 Main Street in the Bend, it is exploring possible locations for the next affordable housing project. They seek a moderately-priced or donated building lot along a town road in Greensboro. Suggested locations may be reported to Kent Hansen at (802) 533-2300.
