Groundbreaking and block party Saturday will celebrate a donated 3D printed duplex in Cairo

The economically depressed community of Cairo is in desperate need of new housing, especially since the closing of two large housing units a few years ago that displaced hundreds of people.

Now, a company is preparing to construct and donate a 3-D printed duplex in Cairo. The venture will kickoff with a groundbreaking ceremony and block party on Saturday.

WSIU's Brad Palmer spoke about this unique housing project with State Senator Dale Fowler, who helped make it happen.

As a news producer and news anchor on All Things Considered, Brad provides the listeners with a recap of the day's top local and state news as well as breaking news at any given time. Contact WSIU Radio at 618-453-6101 or email wsiunews@wsiu.org
