Greensburg Season 2, Episode 5: Back in Business

Fri May 29, 2009 11:30 AM ET

The Executive Director of GreenTown, Daniel Wallach, leads the groundbreaking of the first in a series of sustainably built homes. Named after one of the few structures left standing after the tornado, the "Silo Eco-Home" gets built before our eyes. The much anticipated rebuilding of Kerri and Doug Ulrich's home begins with help from Frito-Lay and SunChips volunteers. The SunChips Business Incubator completes construction, but City Administrator, Steve Hewitt, raises concern when businesses drop out. And with the construction of the Streetscape delayed because of bad weather, the grand opening of the SunChips Business Incubator is in question.

The Greensburg residents gather in the newly rebuilt First Baptist Church for Easter Sunday. The Green Club Kids finish the bench they built from recycled tornado debris and reveal their gift to the city in front of the 5.4.7 Arts Center. Volunteers help clean up the remaining disaster areas. And BNIM City Planner, Stephen Hardy, returns to Greensburg to view the progress of the town that he helped design.

The Greensburg residents gather to view a car drop from mid air on what is supposed to be the strongest ecologically built home in town, the "Silo Eco-Home." A paint store opens in the SunChips Business Incubator on the day of the grand opening, which proves to be a success.
