LaHouse will include a range of practical and proven solutions, from no-cost to higher-end products and systems for both new and existing homes. LaHouse will be a hub of ongoing educational outreach through distance education and a network of extension educators on site and in all 64 parishes of Louisiana. (Photo by John Wozniak) |
