Dakota County Technical College
I am an architect and teach at Dakota County Technical College. I have teams of architectural drafters and interior design students that would like to help homeowners who are looking to rebuild after the flood. My students could provide the necessary drawings to get building permits and/or assist with design decisions as they begin to rebuild. I know you are eager for families to rebuild rather than leave the community and perhaps our small offer of would be just enough to influence someone’s decision to stay. Please contact me via email beverly.claybrook@dctc.edu or by phone at 612-964-3089.
