Iowa City In Focus: Urban Lumber, CO₂ Reclamation, and the Housing Fellowship
The Importance of Urban Lumber
Urban lumber is produced from trees that are removed for reasons other than harvest of their lumber. These are the trees all around us - in our yards, parks, and right-of-ways. Urban lumber is plentiful, local, and a renewable resource with unique design characteristics.
Big Grove Brewery was able to use a Climate Innovation Grant from the City to add new technology that captures and reuses CO₂. Learn how carbon dioxide created during the fermentation process can now be captured, cleaned, & reused for brewing and canning.
Creating and maintaining affordable housing in partnership with community organizations is a top priority of the City. That includes a relationship with the Housing Fellowship to create safe, permanent housing opportunities to help stabilize families in our community.
