More Eco Village Progress (Anderson Mitchell Gets The Rehab Contract)

Photo By John Hoff

Word comes from North Minneapolis contractor Anderson Mitchell that he won the contract to rehab 3023 4th St. N., the PPL house in the Eco Village notable for its missing aluminum siding, with "granular siding" visible underneath. (The stuff looks like shingles)

When Anderson called me, I thought at first...

...he'd won the contract to re-do THE SIDING. But Anderson told me, triumphantly, he'd won the contract to rehab THE ENTIRE HOUSE. 

Just a month ago, Anderson was at the Hawthorne Housing Committee, venting about how contracts for construction and rehabs were going to individuals from, for example, the suburbs instead of contractors such as himself in North Minneapolis. But here's an example of Anderson Mitchell getting exactly what he wanted and, I think, what he deserves. 

Congratulations, Anderson!

I've seen his work - both interior and exterior - not to mention his beautiful home that him and his wife opened up to the home tour.

Very well deserved indeed.
