Rebuilding Better
Residents impacted by the Marshall Fire can find support through Rebuilding Better, the
county's record-setting program that assists with planning, designing, and constructing
high-performance homes. The program connects residents to specialized resources to
guide them through sustainable and resilient rebuilding practices. The result: healthier, more
comfortable, and energy-efficient homes that burn fewer - or no - fossil fuels. The website
is continuously updated with new information and resources.
