Why not remodel the current shelter or one of the many vacant buildings in town?
Experts tell us the existing shelter is outdated and in desperate need of replacement. Retrofitting it (or another building) with modern drainage and air exchange systems would actually cost more than starting from scratch. While the upfront costs of a new shelter seem expensive, we can save a lot of money in the long run by installing modern heating and cooling systems. One such system will pre-heat air pulled in from outdoors (when outdoor air temperature is colder than inside) with the air we are sending to the outside. This type of system will lower utility costs about $1,000 a month and pay for itself in just three years.
