The former Glass House Collective building will be renovated.Michele Peterson lost all her money and many nights of sleep when she discovered that she had renovated houses with Chinese-made wallboard that made people sick.
She said she spent her last dime in 2012 correcting that work, but she survived.
Now the 45-year-old local businesswoman uses her experience to help others.
Peterson purchased the Former Glass House Collective building with plans to teach marketing to youth, and she’ll open it in May.
“This is redemption,” said Peterson,who also owns the Urban Lawn on Main Street and REMI Home Elevators in Mountain Home, Tenn. “I am going to use my currency, which is my time to share what I understood.”
