Have you heard of “green” development? It used to be that “green” was the color of the inexpensive paint that landlords would buy in quantity. Today, “green” has a whole new meaning. Come and find out how you can build more affordably and more environmentally friendly. You just might save money on energy costs along the way.

Join the Chicago Community Loan Fund Workshops this summer for an overview of community oriented sustainable design. On July 15, you can check out “Sustainability 101.”

This is the last in a series of trainings, but check the CCLD site for other opportunities, too.
