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
