The DCN was present to capture the meeting on video. C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher

Workers interested in tapping a pool of federal dollars designated for making homes more energy efficient must first clear obstacles of state-mandated training and up to $80,000 in up-front investments.

That was the message delivered Thursday to a group of about 30 general contractors and construction workers gathered at the Opportunities Industrialization Center in Rocky Mount. (Rocky Mount Telegram)
