Shanti pless at NREL has played a major role in the design of this building as well.

Care and Share, the building that will house the thrift store of the Ministerial Alliance, is being erected on Main Street.

This is another great success story in Greensburg and we are grateful to the folks at Manske and Associates for going to great lengths to do their part in making Greensburg a model green community...The Commercial Group is developing a 36- unit apartment complex and 20 single- family residences, and has expressed their desire to build as green as possible.
