KAUKAUNA, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Jim Doyle has handed out $247,000 in grants to train carpenters in building green.
Doyle gave the money to the North Central Regional Council of Carpenters. It will help pay for equipment and instructors to train carpenters in green building practices as well as windmill and alternative energy system installation.
The training will take place in two four-day classes offered 15 times over a three-year period. An average of seven carpenters will participate in each class.
