Duke approves grant to a local re-build group

An Upstate outfit that specializes in home repairs to eligible recipients is the recipient of one of 15 Duke Energy grants for South Carolina non-profits that help seniors with home repairs.  Rebuild Upstate (Oconee and Pickens counties) receives $10 thousand.  The non-profit may use the money to install safety handrails in bathrooms, replace rotting floors, install handicap ramps, and repair unsafe steps.
