FreEner-g moves into new building and hosts Open House
The freEner-g team with their electric scooter outside the new office
Located in Minneapolis at 2740 31st Avenue South, freEner-g's new office building and warehouse will be equipped with solar panels to meet their electricity needs. In addition, the panels will power freEner-g's electric scooter and electric installation truck, which has been ordered from www.e-ride.com. This multi-functional building provides more than ample space for our current and future needs. As a result, freEner-g is open to subleasing the excess space to similar green-minded companies. If your business is interested, please contact us.
We welcome you to attend our Open House on Wednesday, September 3, 2008. Please mark your calendars and we will provide more information in the next newsletter. We look forward to seeing you there!
